2. 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.
• Installing the replace in a basement is not recommended.
• 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
Sections 4 and 5.
