A. Chimney Requirements
Vertical distances are measured from the base of the fire-
place.
• 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.
To determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation, follow the steps below:
• Determine the total vertical height of the fireplace
installation. This dimension is measured from the base of
the fireplace assembly to the point where the smoke exits
the termination cap.
• Subtract the effective height of the fireplace assembly from
the overall height of the fireplace installation (measured
from the base of the fireplace to the bottom of the
termination cap).
• Refer to Table 5.1 to determine what components must
be selected to complete the fireplace installation.
• Determine the number of ceiling firestops, stabilizers,
roof flashing, etc. required to complete the fireplace
installation.
