4 Chimney Systems
A. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 10.1 the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
