Chimney Height Requirements - Manufactured Homes
The chimney must extend 3’ (.92m) above the level of roof penetration
and a minimum of 2’ (.61m) higher than any roof surface within 10’
(3m) (see below). Check with your local building officials for additional
requirements for your area.
To pass inspection in nearly any jurisdiction, the chimney must meet both
safety and exhaust flow requirements. The (3’ by) 2’ by 10’ rule applies
to both masonry and factory-built chimneys
* Ref. USA - National Standard, NFPA 211-latest edition and Canada
National Standard CSA B365-01-latest edition. Vents installed with a
listed cap shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the cap’s
listings.
Termination When Connected to Masonry Chimney or Existing
Class A Chimney
A flexible corrugated chimney liner has much greater resistance to the
flow of flue gases than does a rigid liner. For this reason we recommend
that a larger, 4” liner be used on vertical runs exceeding 15 feet or that
rigid venting be used . See Figure 12.
If a flexible corrugated chimney liner is used, it must be fully extended
to eliminate any sagging and to improve the exhaust flow.
