CLEARANCES
Always allow at least a 2-inch clearance between Model EV-SHT chimney
pipe and any combustible materials. Never fill any required clearance space
with insulation or any other materials. Combustible materials include lumber,
plywood, sheetrock, plaster and lath, furniture, curtains, electrical wiring and
building insulation. Keep single wall stovepipe at least 18 inches away from
combustible materials, unless a clearance reduction system that is acceptable
to the authority having jurisdiction is used, or the appliance to be installed is
listed and the instructions specify a different clearance.
PERMITS
Contact your local Building Official or Fire Official regarding permits,
restrictions, and installation inspections in your area.
Model EV-SHT APPLICATIONS
Model EV-SHT chimney is UL 103 Type HT insulated chimney, which can be
used with wood stoves, fireplaces, fireboxes, furnaces, boilers, water heaters,
stoves, ranges, or other residential-type appliances fueled by oil, gas, coal, or
wood, that require a chimney system. Do not use with forced draft, positive-
pressure appliances.
CHIMNEY DIAMETER
Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions to determine chimney
diameter and clearances between combustible materials and your heating
appliance. Never choose a chimney with an inside diameter smaller than your
appliance's outlet. To calculate the chimney's outside diameter, add 2 inches
to the inside diameter.
CHIMNEY HEIGHT
The National Fire Protection Association Standard #211 states: "Chimneys
shall extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes through
the roof of a building, and at least two feet higher than any portion of a building
within ten feet." (Fig 1) If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof,
a Roof Brace must be used (see page 9). Due to the overlap of the joints,
subtract 1-1/8 inches from each Chimney Section's height to calculate installed
height.
The chimney shall at least 10 feet to adjacent walls or buildings.
