B. House Style Shroud
• Field-fabricated spacing clips (1/2 in./13 mm tall, 24
ga/.024 in. galvanized steel) must be used to support the
chase top flashing or chase pan, in order to provide air
flow.
• 14 in. (345 mm) DuraChimney II pipe must extend at least
6 in. (152 mm) above the chase pan/flashing.
• A DuraChimney II cap must be used inside the shroud.
• The shroud must not be in direct contact with any of the
DuraChimney II components (other than the chase top
flashing).
The house-style shroud is roughly square or rectangu-
lar with a closed top and exhaust openings on four sides
(Figure 10.2). Table 10.1 lists the minimum shroud d9imen-
sions, the minimum open area per side, and the minimum
total open area for the shroud.
• All open areas of the shroud must be covered with 1/2
in. (13 mm) stainless or galvanized steel mesh screen to
prevent debris from entering the shroud.
• Shrouds must follow the dimensional requirements
specified in Tables 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3, depending on the
syle of shroud used. The three basic shroud styles are 1)
House, 2) Arch or Mailbox, and 3) Pyramid. Most factory-
fabricated shrouds will fall under one of these basic style
categories.
