A. Chimney Requirements
Vertical distances are measured from the base of the fire-
place as shown in Figure 21.1.
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, 13 ft. (4m).
• Refer to Table 21.2 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.
