Numbers. The UL Catalog Numbers will be 
referred to within the instructions, as an aid 
to assembly, however for ordering, use the 
stock numbers shown in the Chimney Products 
Catalog. Practice good workmanship. Sloppy 
work could jeopardize your chimney’s safety. 
Keep electrical wiring and insulation away from 
all chimneys and stovepipes. 
CHIMNEY DIAMETER
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s 
instructions to determine chimney diameter 
and clearances between combustible materials 
and your heating appliance. Never choose a 
chimney with an inside diameter smaller than 
the appliance ue gas outlet. To calculate the 
chimney’s outside diameter, add 4 inches to 
the inside diameter. 
CHIMNEY HEIGHT 
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.” (Figure 1). 
DuraPlus may be installed up to 35 feet high.
If a chimney is installed higher than 35 feet, a 
supporting Elbow Strap must be placed every 
8 feet. If the chimney extends more than 4 
feet above the roof, an Extended Roof Bracket 
must be used. Subtract 1-1/2 inches from 
each Chimney Section’s length to calculate 
installed length. 
CHIMNEY PLACEMENT
When deciding the location of your chimney, 
try to minimize the alteration and reframing of 
structural components of the building.
