allowed per Section 905(a) of the Uniform Mechanical Code
(UMC). Offsets greater than 45° are considered horizontal
and are also allowed, providing the horizontal run does not
exceed 75% of the vertical height of the vent. Construction,
clearance and termination must be in compliance with the
UMC Table 9C. This installation must also comply with NFPA
211.
NOTE:
Top sections of chimney must be removable to allow
maximum clearance of 1.5 feet (411cm) from ground level
for transportation purposes.
