Savannah Installation and Operation Manual
8.2.3 Masonry Chimneys
The stove may also be connected to a
masonry chimney, provided the chimney
complies with the construction rules
found in the building code enforced
locally. The chimney must have either a
clay liner or a suitably listed stainless
steel liner. If the masonry chimney has a
square or rectangular liner that is larger
in cross sectional area than a round 6"
flue, it should be relined with a suitably
listed 6" stainless steel liner. Do not
downsize the flue to less than 6" unless
the venting system is straight and
exceeds 25 feet in height. When passing
through a combustible wall, the use of an
insulated listed thimble is required.
8.3 Minimum Chimney Height
The top of the chimney should be
tall enough to be above the air
turbulence caused when wind
blows against the house and its
roof. The chimney must extend at
least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest
point of contact with the roof, and
at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than
any roof line or obstacle within a
horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.).
