Numbers. The UL Catalog Numbers will be

referred to within the instructions, as an aid

to assembly, however for ordering, use the

stock numbers shown in the Chimney Products

Catalog. Practice good workmanship. Sloppy

work could jeopardize your chimney’s safety.

Keep electrical wiring and insulation away from

all chimneys and stovepipes.

CHIMNEY DIAMETER

Follow the appliance manufacturer’s

instructions to determine chimney diameter

and clearances between combustible materials

and your heating appliance. Never choose a

chimney with an inside diameter smaller than

the appliance flue gas outlet. To calculate the

chimney’s outside diameter, add 4 inches to

the inside diameter.

CHIMNEY HEIGHT

The National Fire Protection Association

Standard #211 states: “Chimneys shall extend

at least three feet above the highest point

where it passes through the roof of a building,

and at least two feet higher than any portion

of a building within ten feet.” (Figure 1).

DuraPlus may be installed up to 35 feet high.

If a chimney is installed higher than 35 feet, a

supporting Elbow Strap must be placed every

8 feet. If the chimney extends more than 4

feet above the roof, an Extended Roof Bracket

must be used. Subtract 1-1/2 inches from

each Chimney Section’s length to calculate

installed length.

CHIMNEY PLACEMENT

When deciding the location of your chimney,

try to minimize the alteration and reframing of

structural components of the building.
