This section discusses standards for constructing chimneys and fireplaces. It outlines that chimneys must be free-standing and supported only by their own weight. For wood frame structures, chimneys must be braced laterally at ceilings and floors. Masonry walls can be made of brick, stone, or reinforced concrete. There are different types of masonry chimneys specified for residential appliances, low and medium heat appliances, high heat appliances, incinerators in multi-story buildings, and commercial/industrial incinerators. Standards are provided for thickness of masonry and height requirements.

Section 1211: Chimneys, Fireplaces and Barbecues

In this section, we would discuss about how to properly construct a chimney and proper standard of the
dimensions of a chimney. Thus no chimney shall support any structural load other than its own weight,
making it a free standing member of a structure. Chimneys in a wood frame shall be placed laterally at
the ceiling line and at each floor line. The walls of masonry shall have brick, stones and reinforced
concrete.

These are the types of Masonry Chimneys:

Masonry Chimney for Residential Type Appliances- This type of
masonry chimney is for the appliances used in a typical home,
like for example the range with stove. And its reinforced
concrete shall not be less than 100 mm thick.

Masonry Chimneys for Low Heat Appliances- The reinforced
concrete shall not be less than 200 mm thick.

Masonry Chimneys for Medium Heat Appliances- A chimney
used with appliances that produce maximum flue gas
temperatures of 1800F (982C), composed of listed, factory-
built components, suitable for open, non-enclosed use at
specified minimum clearances to combustibles, and assembled
in accordance with the terms of the listing to form the
completed chimney.

Masonry Chimney for High Heat Appliances- This type of
masonry chimney shall be constructed with double walls of solid
masonry units because of the high heat temperature.

Masonry Chimneys for Incinerators Installed in Multi-Storey Buildings- This type of masonry chimney is

The masonry chimneys lining should not be less than 15 mm thick and it shall be installed ahead of
