Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover factory-built chimneys intended for
venting gas, liquid, and solid-fuel-fired medium-heat type
appliances in which the maximum continuous flue-gas temperatures do
not exceed 1800°F (980°C).
Factory-built chimneys are intended for installation in
accordance with the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and
Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances, NFPA 211, and in accordance with
codes such as the International Mechanical Code, and the Uniform
Mechanical Code.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the
requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or
of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using
appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to
maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the
intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics,
components, materials, or systems conflict with specific
requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with
this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and
adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development,
revision, and implementation of this standard.
