Deco Installation and Operation Manual

8.2.2 Masonry Chimneys

The stove may also be connected to a

masonry chimney, provided the

chimney complies with the construction

rules found in the building code

enforced locally. The chimney must

have either a clay liner or a suitably

listed stainless steel liner. If the

masonry chimney has a square or

rectangular liner that is larger in cross

sectional area than a round 6” flue, it

should be relined with a suitably listed

6” stainless steel liner. Do not

downsize the flue to less than 6” unless

the venting system is straight and

exceeds 25 feet in height. When

passing through a combustible wall, the

use of an insulated listed thimble is

required.

8.3 Minimum Chimney Height

The top of the chimney should be

tall enough to be above the air

turbulence caused when wind

blows against the house and its

roof. The chimney must extend at

least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest

point of contact with the roof, and

at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than

any roof line or obstacle within a

horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.).
