Proper planning for your DuraChimney
II installation will result in greater safety,
efciency, and convenience, as well as
saving time and money. You must use only
authorized DuraChimney II parts to maintain
a listed chimney system. Do not mix parts
or try to match with other products or use
improvised solutions. Do not install damaged
or modied parts. Practice good workmanship.
Sloppy work could jeopardize your chimney’s
safety. Keep electrical wiring and building
insulation away from all chimneys. When
deciding the location of your chimney, try to
avoid modications to roof beams and other
structural components of the building. Contact
either your dealer or DuraVent directly if you
have any questions.
Follow the replace manufacturer’s manual
to determine required chimney diameter and
clearances between combustible materials
and your replace. Never use a chimney
with an inside diameter smaller than your
ue opening above rebox unless specically
allowed by the replace manufacturer. If you
are connecting to a masonry replace, refer to
Table 2 (pg 11) for proper sizing. To calculate
the chimney’s outside diameter, add 3 inches
to the inside diameter.
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.” (Fig. 1). Due to the overlap of
the joints, subtract 1 inch from each Chimney
Section’s height to calculate installed height.
Interior chimneys shall
be enclosed where they extend through
closets, storage areas, occupied spaces, or
anywhere where the surface of the chimney
could be contacted by persons or combustible
materials (including insulation). The air space
between the outer wall of the chimney and the
enclosure shall be at least 2 inches
Consult local building code
ofcials for requirements in your area. The

#211 states: “Factory-built chimneys that
