Chimney Sizing for Appliances Using Table 9
Example
GIVEN:
• Input is 700,000 BTUH.
• Draft required is 0.04 inches w.c.
• System contains one 90° elbow and one tee.
• Collar size of appliance is 10 inches.
SOLUTION: Find Input 700 (thousand) BTUH in the left
column and 0.04 inches w.c. draft at the top of the table.
Adjacent to the Input column is a column giving multiple
choices of chimney sizes. For a trial, use the flue collar size of
10 inches. Adjacent to the 10-inch size is a figure 3½, which
is explained as the feet that must be added for EACH 90°
turn. Proceed to right from 700 figure, then the 10-inch size
horizontally to the right until it intersects the 0.04 vertical
column. The height shown is 7 feet. There are two 90° turns
required (the 90° elbow and tee given); therefore, 7 feet must
be added (2 times 3½) to the 7 feet given in the table. The
required chimney height is then 14 feet (7+7). A larger size
chimney will result in a lower total height if such is required.
