only 6”, 7” and 8” dia. for solid fuel.
Allowable ue gas temperature:
Maximum continuous 1200° F (650°C)
Brief forced ring 1400°F (760°C)
Tested to 2100°F (1150°C) - 30 minutes
2. The maximum height of chimney supported by the
various DuraVent supports are outlined on Table 1.
3. The supports described in this manual should only
be used with DuraVent’s model DTC, 5”, 6”, 7”, 8”
and 10” factory built chimneys.
4. Size the chimney in accordance with the appliance
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. When a restop is required, it is important to follow the

in this manual. see Table 2).
6. A chimney servicing a replace or an incinerator shall
not serve any other appliance.
7. The chimney shall extend at least 3 ft above its point
of contact with the roof and at least 2ft higher than
any wall, roof or adjacent building within 10 ft of it.
8. The maximum height of an unguided chimney above
the roof is 5 ft. If the chimney extends more than 5 ft.
above the roof, a Universal Roof Brace (XRB) must
be used.
9. The clearance between single wall pipe and unpro-
tected combustible material must not be less than 18”
(see National Building Code and NFPA 211) except:
The distance between the vertical stove pipe and the
ceiling may be less than 18” and will be established
by the nish support.

quirements in your area. In the U.S., the National
Fire Protection Association Standard #211 states:
“Factory-built chimneys that pass through oors of
buildings requiring the protection of vertical openings
shall be enclosed with approved walls having a re
resistance rating of not less than one hour when
