A. Chimney Requirements

When planning your fireplace location, the chimney con-

struction and necessary clearances must be considered.

The fireplace system and chimney components have

been tested to provide flexibility in construction. The fol-

lowing figures are the minimum distances from the base

of the fireplace.

•

Minimum overall straight height is 6 ft 4 in. if the

fireplace is freestanding and a minimum of 10 ft from a

combustible structure. See Figure 3.2.

•

Chimney must extend 2 ft (.6 m) above any portion of the

roof within 10 ft (3 m) of the chimney. Refer to Figure 6.1.

•

Minimum height width offset/return

•

Maximum height

•

Maximum chimney length between an offset

and return

•

Maximum distance between chimney

stabilizers

•

Double offset/return minimum height

•

Maximum unsupported chimney length

between the offset and return

• Maximum unsupported chimney height above

the fireplace

•

Minimum overall straight height if fireplace is

freestanding

Determine the chimney components needed to complete

your particular installation:

•

Measure the total vertical height of the fireplace

installation from the base of the fireplace assembly to

the approximate location of the bottom of the termination

cap.

•

Subtract the effective height of the fireplace assembly

(see Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine

the overall height of the chimney installation.

•

Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure

8.2 showing components required (referring to Table

8.1). Figure 8.1 identifies those components and where

used.

•

Install a ceiling firestop whenever the chimney penetrates

a floor/ceiling.

NOTICE:

A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns

may be used.

CAUTION! Risk of Fire and/or Asphyxiation! DO

NOT connect this fireplace to a chimney flue servicing

another appliance. DO NOT connect to any air distribu-

tion duct or system. These actions could cause over-

heating/fire in the chimney flue, or release of exhaust

fumes into the living areas.
