Fuel Type Application

Clearances and Cavity Measurements

Clearances:

Combustibles:

Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 inches to combustible materials for all sections of the DuraTech 10″-24″ Chimney System.
Wall Thimble:

When installing the Wall Thimble for horizontal through-the-wall installations, ensure appropriate length of chimney pipe for the wall thickness. The telescoping pieces of the Wall Thimble can be separated to accommodate thicker walls, and a field-fabricated extension may be installed.
Attic Insulation Shield:

Must be used in all installations passing through an attic, irrespective of whether the attic is insulated or not.
Firestop Radiation Shield:

Must be used when the chimney passes through a floor or ceiling without a support box.
Cavity Measurements:

Minimum Chimney Height:

At sea level, the minimum height of a straight vertical chimney should be 10 to 15 feet above the appliance outlet. For higher elevations, installations with elbows, or the use of a tee, approximately 30% to 60% more height may be required to ensure adequate draft.
Roof Line:

Building codes typically require a minimum of 3 feet above the roof penetration. Additionally, the termination cap should be at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within 10 feet.
Roof Pitch:

Measure the roof pitch to select the appropriate flashing. For example, a 6/12 pitch has a vertical rise of 6 inches over a horizontal distance of 12 inches.
Extended Roof Bracket:

If the chimney extends 5 feet or more above the roof penetration, an extended roof bracket is required. Install an additional roof bracket every 5 feet.
Elbows and Offsets:

Elbow Types:

15° and 30° elbows are available. Elbows have a 360° swivel base for orientation, fixed at 15° or 30°. Elbows greater than 30° are not allowed in the United States.
Offset Limit:

A maximum of two offsets in a single installation are permitted. Each offset requires at least one Elbow Strap for proper support.
