A rain cap must be installed on top
of the chimney. Failure to  install  a
rain  cap  may  cause  corrosion
problems.

9.

 

Cut  and  frame  square  holes  in  all
floors,  ceilings,  and  roof  that  the
chimney will go through to  provide
a 2" (50 mm) clearance between the
chimney  and  any  combustible
materials.  Do not fill this  2" space
with  insulation  or  any  other
combustible material.

10.

 

Portions  of  the  chimney  that  may

extend  through  accessible  spaces
must  be  enclosed  to  avoid  contact
with  combustible  materials  or
damage the chimney.
