The height of the chimney that would be needed if all codes were being met prescribed by NFPA.
I increased the height of the chimney another 3 ft. and saw a tremendous improvement in performance.

My gut says 15 feet minimum, but add 3 feet for each elbow, 5 feet for each tee in the hookup and add a foot for each 3 feet of horizontal pipe.

It takes "THREE" 45* elbows to restrict flow the same amount as "ONE" 90* elbow.Freddy wrote:My gut says 15 feet minimum, but add 3 feet for each elbow, 5 feet for each tee in the hookup and add a foot for each 3 feet of horizontal pipe.
