has one or more sides exposed to the out-
doors below the roof line. All installations with a 99% Winter De-
sign Temperature* below 17
°
F (
−
8
°
C) must be common vented
only with a draft hood equipped Category I appliance.

−
heating appliance is greater
than the minimum input rating given in Table B for Masonry
Chimneys for the local 99% Winter Design Temperature.
Chimneys having internal areas greater than 38 square
inches (245 sq. cm) require furnace input ratings greater
than the input ratings of these furnaces. See footnote at bot-
