provided in the "Chimney or individual fl ue" section.
CHIMNEY CAP
The chimney cap must comply with the following requisites:
have an internal section equivalent to that of the chimney;
have useful outlet section not lower than double the chimney internal section;
be built in order to avoid rain, snow, foreign bodies penetrating the chimney and in order that, in case
of winds in any direction and inclination, the discharge of the fuel products is assured.
be positioned in a way to guarantee an adequate dispersion and dilution of the fuel products and,
however, outside the refl ux area in which the formation of counter-pressure occurs.
Such area has diff erent dimensions and confi guration depending on the covering inclination angle, it is
therefore necessary to adopt the minimum heights indicated in the fi gure layouts below.
The chimney cap must not have mechanical suction means.
