The Chimney
This unit must be installed into a chimney approved for use
with solid-fuel appliances. In the U.S., it must be connected to
(1) a prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements
for Type HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-
Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appliances, UL
103, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a ue
liner.
In Canada, this unit is listed for use with prefabricated
chimneys tested and listed to the high temperature (650
degrees C) chimney standard, ULC S-629, or with a code
approved masonry chimney.
The minimum recommended height for any chimney is
16 ft (4.8 m) above ue collar height. A round ue (either
masonry or approved prefabricated), of either 6" (150 mm),
7" (180 mm) or 8" (200 mm) may be used. For square or
rectangular masonry chimneys, nominal sizes of 8" x 8" or
8"x 12" (200mm x 200 mm, 200 mm x 300 mm) may be used.
Codes require that solid-fuel chimneys extend 3 ft (0.9 m)
above the highest point at which they exit from the roof. Then,
the chimney must extend 2 ft.(6 m) above the highest point
within a 10 ft (3 m) radius. Thus, the 3 foot, 2 foot, 10 foot rule:
3ft. - Above roof exit point
2ft. - Higher than anything within-
10ft. of the chimney.
