The chimney must extend 3’ (.92m) above the level of roof penetration

and a minimum of 2’ (.61m) higher than any roof surface within 10’

(3m) (see below). Check with your local building officials for additional

requirements for your area.

To pass inspection in nearly any jurisdiction, the chimney must meet both

safety and exhaust flow requirements. The (3’ by) 2’ by 10’ rule applies

to both masonry and factory-built chimneys

National Standard CSA B365-01-latest edition. Vents installed with a

listed cap shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the cap’s
listings.

Termination When Connected to Masonry Chimney or Existing

Class A Chimney

A flexible corrugated chimney liner has much greater resistance to the

flow of flue gases than does a rigid liner. For this reason we recommend

that a larger, 4” liner be used on vertical runs exceeding 15 feet or that

rigid venting be used . See Figure 12.

If a flexible corrugated chimney liner is used, it must be fully extended

to eliminate any sagging and to improve the exhaust flow.
