8.- Some standards
Below are other standards that must be respected when building the chimney:
a) Use resistant and non-combustible materials. Do not use cement fibre tubes
for the first 2-3 metres.
b) Choose as vertical a run as possible. Do not connect various appliances to
the same chimney.
c) Prevent the flue from ending in areas near to constructions and it must exceed the closest
peak in height, where there is an adjoining building.
d) Choose a place that is most protected from cooling for the flue. Where
possible, the chimney must be on the inside of the house.
e) The inside walls must be perfectly smooth and free of obstacles. At the joints
of tubes with brick chimneys, avoid bottlenecks
