TOPIC: Chimney Clearances

Chimney Clearances 15 years 2 months ago #21955

I did an inspection on a new construction the other day and I wanted to know what the height requirements are for a natural gas fireplace.  I measured the horizontal clearance at 7 feet from chimney to roof.  I know that wood burning fireplaces should have a 10 foot horizontal clearance.  Is the 10 foot horizontal clearance rule the same for natural gas burning fireplaces?

I called it out as needing to be raised to the 10 foot horizontal clearance.

Thanks in advance!!!

Looks like it's still 10 feet from the spot 2 feet below the roof. Source: www.inspect-ny.com/chimneys/Chimney_Height.htm

Sweet thanks Dom.  I couldn't find anything that specifically addressed my question until now.  Everything I was finding addresses it as a wood burning fireplace first.  Karma for you kind Sir.
