CHIMNEY CLASSIFICATIONS:
Ghimney, Residential Appliance Type -A
factory built or masonry chimney suitable for
removing products of combustion from
residential type appliances producing
combustion gases not in excess of 1,000F
(538C), measured at the appliance flue ouflet.
Factory built Type HT chimneys have high
