• To insure a good draft, it is recommended to have a length of 18" (457 mm) from the top of
the unit to the first offset. However, starting using a 30° or 45° (Canada Only) elbow is also
approved.
• A CHIMNEY VENTING A FIREPLACE SHALL NOT VENT ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
• The minimum height of the chimney system is 15 feet (4.6 m) from the base of the appliance to
the chimney cap. If only the minimum height of the chimney system is installed, the operating
conditions must be optimal (interior chimney, minimum height of 18" (457 mm) before any
deviation, etc.).
• The chimney must have at least one support. The maximum chimney length that should be
supported by the fireplace is 9 feet (2.75 m) for 2" Solid Pack chimney (5 cm) and 12 feet
(3.7 m) for 1" Solid Pack chimney.
• The chimney must extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm) above its point of contact with the roof and at
least 2 ft. (61 cm) higher than any wall, roof or building within 10 ft. (3.1 m) of it. .

• Avoid deviations as much as possible, especially the sharp ones. Each deviation adds
restriction to the system and can lead to draft problems.
• If the chimney extends higher than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above its point of contact with the roof, it must
be secured using a roof brace.
• A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney
• For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same non-chase or within the
same area, their terminations must be separated by at least 16" (410 mm) horizontally, and
18" (460 mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney to
another.
