2' Min. (610mm) 2' Min. (610mm) Figure 33 TEN FOOT RULE SUMMARY The minimum chimney height above the roof and/or to adjacent walls and buildings is speci- fied by all major building codes. If the horizontal distance from the peak of the roof is less then 10' (3 m), the top of the chimney must be at least 2' (610 mm) above the peak of the roof.
The offset and return elbows may be attached together, or a section or sections of chimney may be used between, but do not exceed 20' (6.1 m) in total length between elbows ( see Figure 36 ). If sections of pipe exceed 10' (3 m) between elbows, a chimney stabilizer must be used at the midpoint.
CHIMNEY OFFSET 30 THROUGH FLOOR OR CEILING It may be necessary to assemble the chimney at 30 when passing through the floor or ceiling area. Use the F10FS30-2 firestop spacer as shown in Figures 42 and 43 . Support the chimney at floor or ceiling pen- etration with a FTF13 stabilizer if distance of chimney below ceiling is 10' (3 m) or more.

Hearth Extension Dimensions 20" 39-3/8" 12" 63-3/8" Note: To convert inches to millimeters divide by 0.03937 Figure 48 Methods of Determini ng Hearth Extension and Wall Shield Equivalents - To determine the thickness required for the alternate material when either the “k” value or “r” value is known, use either the k formula or r formula.
A wall shield is required where a continuous perpendicular side wall is within 12" of the fireplace opening ( Figure 49 ) . Use a 36" W x 36" H wall shield constructed of a durable, noncombustible material having an equal or better (lower k value) insulating value than k = .54 BTU IN/FT HR F.
