Chimneys, Flues, and Gasvents
Masonry Chimneys
A prefabricated chimney shall not be considered
a masonry chimney. Whenever a masonry chim-
ney contains flues fgr fireplace and heating
equipment, and one of the flues requires an off-
set, the offset should be made in the fireplace
flue, and the flue from heating equipment should
run straight. Corbeling should start at a lower
devation on that side toward which the offset is
desired so as to insure constant internal cross-
sectional area without pockets or restrictions to
create turbulence in the gas stream. Liners should
be properly beveled at changes in direction and
at changes in cross-sectional dimensions to insure
smooth, tight joints.
Masonry chimneys should be capped with non-
combustible weatherproof material, or cement
mortar, sloped outward and downward, may be
'provided. ~.
A flue serving heat producing equipment hav-
ing a rated gross capacity exceeding 200,000 Btu
per hour shall be separated from other flues
within the chimney by a masonry withe of at
least 4-inch nominal thickness.
Masonry chimneys shall be designed and in-
stalled in eoiaformity with the table entitled,
"Construction of Masonry Chimneys."

FIREPLACE I~SPECTION REPORT (7/6/89)
Ovsianik Residence
Sound View Avenue
Southold, N.Y.
INTRODUCTION
This report is based on complaints by the owners and the
building inspector of improper workmanship of the fireplace
built by Leo Russell at the subject residence. An engineer
report written by Mr. Ahlers, P.E. made comments which are
answered below. Also discussed are comments made by the
building inspector.
DISCUSSION
Apparently the fire place is built on a poured concrete
footing over a block foundation which extends down to the
basement floor. There is no full bearing of the fire place
on any wood structure. The page numbers and the photograph
numbers below refer'to the numbers in the report by
Mr. Ahlers.
Page t_~l and Photo %~.
Although there were some wood structure in place at the
top of the pedestal, it has since been removed.

P.O. BOX 1180, 632 ROANOKE AVENUE, RIVEFIHEAD, NEW YORK 11901 (516) 727-7411
chimney is built on an 8" poured re slab
which is partly cantilevered providing sufficient bearing
down to the footings. The gap if found objectionable can be
filled, although it is not structurally necessary. As shown
in photo #2, the report comments that the fireplace is not
centered, however, centering is a matter of aesthetics. In
this case for the lack of specification the firebox was
centered in the room (normal) with the face extending to one
side. This arrangement is not unusual in modern
construction.
The fireplace is located on the floor in a normal
construction and standard method in that the face of the
fireplace, less the veneer, is aligned with the wall and the
veneer sticks out the depth of the face masonry which is
approximately 4 inches allowing for the installation of a
mantelpiece. Of course 16 inches of hearth in front of the
firebox' as required by code has been installed in a wood
deepening.
The report indicates a gap in the walls, however, in
normal procedure when masonry is completed the wood frame is
enclosed and all these gaps are closed in by stuffing with
insulation for infiltration and then dry wall installation
and proper moldings. There usually is a small gap between
the wood framing and the masonry to allow for expansion and
contraction.

Further comment was that the brick was not uniform in
color. Brick is a clay material, and although color is added
to provide the col6r. The brick style is multicolor. When
fired certain colors and variations come up in the clay due
to its hardness and non homogeneity of bricks, therefore,
very seldom are they equal in color and hue. Since the brick
was ordered multicolored, that must have been the

Further comment that the seat for the mantle was
insufficient. The standard seat for a mantle is usually 4
inch brick. The mantle is usually a board which is nailed to
the framing so the 4 inch bearing is sufficient for the
mantle,
-3-
STEVE G. TSONTAKIS ASSOCIATES
this particular case the mantle was to extend wall to wall
forming some sort of a shelf. The sidewalls would Supply
more than adequate support of the mantle and in fact it
appears from photograph 94 that the mantle would be
sandwiched between the bearing brick and the brick above. It
also commented on page #2 that used brick was installed.
None of these were external. Therefore, it is not required
to be free of cracks. In any case these cracks seldom
penetrate the surface more than half of an inch and are
caused by drying in the kiln for common brick.
On Page 92 there is a comment that fresh air inlet is
incorrectly installed (see photo #1). The fresh air inlet
which is the combustion air inlet is intended to provide make
up air for the fire so as the heated air from the room is not
depleted (Energy Code). It is therefore prudent to install
this device as close to the face of the fireplace as
possible. This location is acceptable since it is just
inside the brick face veneer. This does not proclude the
installation of a glass fire screen which fits on the outside
face of the brick veneer.
A comment was made that the glass fire screen was
required, this is not the case if the damper complies with
the energy code. The requirement is to have a damper which
does not exceed a 20 CFM leak rate. The damper so installed
does not exceed this leak rate.

As shown in Photo ~8 the rafters are Not doubled as
required by the state code, however, this is a carpentry item
and not part of the masonry work. It can easily be corrected
by the sistering of an additional rafter.
Apparently an on-site meeting was held with the building
inspector, the owners, and the owner ' s attorney. The
comments made by the bulldlng inspector are hearby discussed.
The building inspector indicates that possibly the
corbel was excessive, and that the 'chimney might have to be
supported. Corbeling of chimneys is permissible and quite
common especially years ago where architecturally chimneys
were required to penetrate the roof at the ridge. In
accordance with chapter 3 of N.F.P.A., standard 2-11,
chimneys can be corbelled, and a corbel is allowed so long as
the outside face of the chimney face as it passes through the
roof does not fall outside the chimney face below at the base
of the corbel (see appendix 9A, page #14).

causing the
As to the comment of solid masonry, it is true that the
masonry used in the fireplace in the vicinity of the fire
within 8 inches must be solid, therefore, any block that is
used should be filled, any brick which is cored must also be
filled. This is true for all but the outside walls along the
fireplace which are not in contact with the structure
(Appendix A, Page #3). Only 4 inches is necessary in this
particular case this is covered in the NFPA standard 2-11
paragraph 3-2.1. It can also be seen in NYSCMA technical
spec. (Question #3, Appendix B). The fire box itself must
be lined with 8 inches of masonry (3 hr. rated) but the
outside wall need only be 4" per.

cause of standard construction, the fi.rechamber contains
the fire brick and the outside wall Of 4" block which exceeds
the 6 inches required by NFPA 2-11 paragraph 3.21.
There also seems to be some confusion as to the location
of the damper with respect to the fireplace. The fireplace
could not be built if the damper was not set on a lintel
because the chimney has to be supported outside the building
wall. The gap mentioned, therefore, must be between the
chimney wall and the face veneer of the fireplace. This type
of gap is quite normal. It is quite true that the gap should
be filled in order to prevent cinders from flying up into the
brick masonry, even though none of this should be exposed to
wood framing which would be far above and roughly at the
level of the mantel. Usually the space is filled with either
a grout or a fibrous insulation such as fiberglass. This is
installed not only to prevent drafts but also to proclude any
cinders. Spark action in this area is very rare since the
positive pressure towards the firebox is always built up when
there is a fire. The pressure is built up by a fire draws
air from the face of the fireplace up not in the direction of
the crack.
