draft that can affect the operation and/or performance of
your appliance and/or chimney system. The chimney
should be located within the building in order to avoid
cutting or altering load-bearing members, such as joists,
rafters, studs, etc. If you have to cut or alter an existing
load-bearing member, special reframing methods are
required, which often include doubling of adjacent
members. If such a case arises, contact your local
Building Code Official regarding local regulations and
proper installation methods.
Sections of the Model TLC chimney that pass through
accessible areas of the building, such as through closets,
storage areas, occupied spaces, or any place where the
surface of the chimney could be contacted by persons or
combustible materials, must be enclosed in a chase
to avoid personal contact and damage to the chimney.
The chase may be fabricated using standard building
materials. Drywall mounted on 2" x 4" studs is typically
used in this situation. The space between the outer wall
of the chimney and the enclosure must be at least a
minimum of 2 inches.
MAINTAIN A 2-INCH MINIMUM AIRSPACE

SECTIONS AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
