3. CHIMNEY CAPS:
Mesh type chimney caps must have provision for regular cleaning, or the mesh should be
removed to eliminate the potential of plugging.
4. ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES:
The fireplace should be inspected to make sure that there is adequate clearance to
combustibles, both exposed combustibles to the top, side, and front as well as concealed
combustibles, in the chimney and mantle area. Your local inspector should have information
on whether older fireplaces are of adequate construction.
5. OPENING SIZE:
Refer to “MINIMUM MASONRY OPENING” (Section 8.5) for suitable size fireplace openings.
