Chimney Termination Requirements
The chimney must terminate a minimum of 3' above the roof and 2' above any portion within 10'
(measured horizontally – see below. This applies to flat and sloped roofs.
The chimney must have a chimney cap. A spark arrestor may be required in your area (check with
the local building department).
When using a chase to enclose a chimney, the chimney termination is not required to be 3' above the
chase as long as the chase is above the roof structure. The chimney cap must still maintain the 2, 3,
and 10 clearance to any other structure. See the illustration below.
Chimneys extending beyond a certain height (frequently 5') above the roof may require braces (check
the instructions included with the chimney for details)
