Section 3-2-1:

VENTING LAYOUT

Selection of components and details of venting lay out should

adhere to the following guidelines:

„

The maximum termination point is 32’ above the fireplace (NOTE:

if the maximum termination height is used, the flame pattern

may be affected).

„

The Vertical termination must be a minimum 2’ higher than

where the termination exits the roofing materials, (asphalt

shingles, cedar shakes, etc)� This distance should be measured

from the high side of the roof slope where the flue flashing

intersects the roofing materials. (see Figures 9 - 9c).

„

For a detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see

Appendix A�

„

Termination location must be a minimum 6’ from a mechanical

air inlet.

„

A maximum of two offsets (each offset is made up of 2-90°

bends) may be made for vertical vent runs.

„

Firestops must be installed as required by National & local codes.

„

Ensure all horizontal runs are supported with a minimum of 3

supports per 10’ of venting.

„

Install all roof flashing and storm collars as shown.
