Chimney
Tops are set in a bed of mortar on the masonry chimney
cap. The base of the Chimney
Top need not match the dimensions of the flue liner it
is being installed on top of, but should not impinge
on the inside area of the flue liner except for the maximum
3⁄4 of an inch in the corners. The flue liner
may extend up inside the chimney top, or the flue liner
may be flush with the top surface of the chimney cap. Additional
anchoring may be used to prevent damage from tornadoes,
hurricanes or earthquakes. A 1⁄4 - 1⁄2
inch diameter hole may be drilled in at least two opposite
sides of the Chimney Top and a bar used to anchor the
top into the grout or the chimney wall.
When installing on wood chase
chimneys, special attention should be given to preventing
water leakage around the base of the Chimney Top. |
