3 FOREWORD Chimney top devices are used throughout the world and to provide clearer guidance, the NFPA 211 Technical Committee would like to develop a clearer vision of the international use of chimney top devices. A Fire Protection Research Foundation report entitled, Impact of Chimney-top Appurtenances on Flue Gas Flow, was previously completed in December 2014 included a look at existing chimney-top devices and their effect on the flow of gas. It also included a review of available chimney-top devices. However, it did not consider international implications. This project reviewed international codes and standards as they pertain to the use of chimney top devices. The purpose of the project, which is documented in this report, was to provide a review of the current requirements and the prescribed application of chimney top devices throughout international codes and standards for solid-fuel, oil-burning and gas-burning chimney/vent systems which includes fireplaces and heat producing appliances. The Fire Protection Research Foundation expresses gratitude to the report authors Pegah Farshadmanesh, Mehdi Modares, and Jamshid Mohammadi, who are with the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering, Illinois Institute of Technology located in Chicago, IL. The Research Foundation appreciates the guidance provided by the Project Technical Panelists and all others that contributed to this research effort. Thanks are also expressed to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for providing the project funding through the NFPA Annual Code Fund. The content, opinions and conclusions contained in this report are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Fire Protection Research Foundation, NFPA, Technical Panel or Sponsors. The Foundation makes no guaranty or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information published herein. About the Fire Protection Research Foundation The Fire Protection Research Foundation plans, manages, and communicates research on a broad range of fire safety issues in collaboration with scientists and laboratories around the world. The Foundation is an affiliate of NFPA. About the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Founded in 1896, NFPA is a global, nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards. The association delivers information and knowledge through more than 300 consensus codes and standards, research, training, education, outreach and advocacy; and by partnering with others who share an interest in furthering the NFPA mission.

7 Executive Summary Proper design of chimney top devices is essential to ensure the safety of residential and commercial buildings against fire. Those chimney top devices include exhaust terminations, rain caps, decorative shrouds, chimney top dampers and spark arrestors. However, information and provisions for such design is sporadic among existing International Codes. NFPA 211 is a major source of such information that is currently used for such design. Nevertheless, there exist gaps between the available information in International Codes and NFPA 211. This study is a comprehensive review of the current requirements and prescribed applications of chimney top devices throughout numerous international codes. The reviewed codes include International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Existing Building Code, and International Plumbing Code. The study pertains to solid-fuel, oil-burning and gas-burning chimney/vent systems including fireplaces and heat producing appliances. Through this study, the existing gaps between international codes and NFPA 211, as related to top devices and venting system, are identified and summarized. 1

9 SECTION A: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Chimneys are the primary means of safely venting combustion gases outside of an indoor environment. Therefore, it is important to fully understand all chimney components and their proper design and safety considerations. One of the most important factors in safe operation of chimneys is proper induced draft in the system, which is a function of combustion temperature, outdoor environment conditions, and flow resistance of the chimney assembly. A chimney top device is a component of a chimney providing the boundary between the flue gases inside the chimney and the outdoor environment. Improper design of the chimney top devices can cause blow back down the chimney, inhibit proper draft, or even allow noxious flue gases to re-enter the indoor environment. Chimney top devices include exhaust terminations, rain caps, decorative shrouds, chimney top dampers and spark arrestors. However, existing codes and standards on these devices can vary widely and may lead to confusion and poor designs. NFPA 211 is a source of information on chimney top devices. Nevertheless, there exist gaps between the available information in NFPA 211 and existing codes. Previous research in December 2014, entitled, Impact of Chimney-Top Appurtenances on Flue Gas Flow, reviewed studies and reports of research related the existing chimney top devices and their effect on flue gas flow. The main objective of this study is to have a comprehensive review of the current requirements and prescribed applications of chimney top devices in international codes. Codes reviewed include the International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Existing Building Code, and International Plumbing Code. The study pertains to solid-fuel, oilburning and gas-burning chimney/vent systems including fireplaces and heat-producing appliances. In this study, the existing gaps between international codes and NFPA 211, as relate to top devices and venting systems, are identified and summarized. 3
