nector into the first chimney liner section.
2. The cross-sectional area of the chimney flue may
not be less than the cross-sectional area of the
flue collar..
3. A sealed block-off plate must be installed at the
damper area of the existing fireplace, unless the
liner is connected directly to the top of the chim-
ney. See fig. 8.
4. For internal chimneys, (no sides of the chimney
exposed to the outside below the roofline,) a posi-
tive connection into the first flue tile is acceptable
provided the tile is no larger than 8" x 12".
5. For external chimneys, (one or more sides are ex-
posed to the outside below the roof line, including
garages), a positive connection to the first flue tile
is acceptable provided the tile is no larger than 8"
x 8".

nal chimneys. In such cases, a damper block-off
plate is not required.
