D. The Chimney
This unit must be installed into a chimney approved for use 
with solid-fuel appliances. In the U.S., it must be connected to 
(1) a prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements 
for Type HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-
Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appliances, UL 
103,or(2)acode-approvedmasonrychimneywithaue
liner. 
In Canada, this unit is listed for use with prefabricated 
chimneys tested and listed to the high temperature (650°C) 
chimney standard, ULC S-629, or with a code approved 
masonry chimney. 
For mobile homes, (US only) it must only be installed with 
a factory built stainless steel chimney. The chimney system 
should include all required installation components, such as 
vaporbarriersandroofashing,astestedforuseinmobile
homes. 
The minimum recommended height for any chimney is 16 
ft. (4.8m) above ue collar height. For non-mobile home
installations, a round flue (either masonry or approved 
prefabricated), of either 6" (150mm), 7" (180mm) or 8" 
(200mm) may be used. For square or rectangular masonry 
chimneys, nominal sizes of 8" x 8" or 7" x 12" (200mm x 200 
mm, 180mm x 300mm) may be used.
Codes require that solid-fuel chimneys extend 3 ft. (0.9m) 
above the highest point at which they exit from the roof. Then, 
the chimney must extend 2 ft. (0.6m) above the highest point 
within a 10ft (3m) radius. Thus, the 3 foot, 2 foot, 10 foot rule:
3ft. - Above roof exit point
2ft. - Higher than anything within-
10ft. of the chimney.
