E. Locating Fireplace & Chimney
Location of the replace and chimney will affect perfor-
mance.
Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind loading.
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
Consider the replace location relative to oor and ceiling
and attic joists.
Take into consideration the termination requirements in
Section 8 and Section 9.
