HEIGHTS FOR
WOODSTOVE FLUE
Simple rules on draft. See Table 1.
1)
At sea level minimum height is 12' straight.
2)
Add the following vertical height to compensate
for:
45 deg. elbow = 1 ft.
90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.
"T"
= 3 ft.
Each foot of horizontal run = 2 ft.
3)
Add 4% overall for each 1000' above sea level.
Example: a)
1-1/2 ft. of horizontal run
= 3 ft.
one "T"
= 3 ft.
Total Addition (at sea level) = 6 ft.
Example: b)
One 90 deg. elbow
= 2 ft.
2 ft. of horizontal run
= 4 ft.
one "T"
= 3 ft.
Total Addition (at sea level) = 9 ft.

TABLE 1
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney.
The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney,
local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may
cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may cause damage.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the
chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the
room through appliance and chimney connector joints. Ensure the heater is
installed in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in valleys that would
cause unhealthy air quality or nuisance conditions.
