ADVENTURE IN BUILDING„
Properly BuiItChirnney Will
ouse
This is the 23rd in a series
of articles by Central Mort-
gage and Housing Corporation,
Federal housing agency, on
building a house.
In a well-designed house the
chimney should harmonize with
the rest of the structure. Wherever
possible it should actually enhance
the general appearance of the
building, but its main purpose is
functional, rather than decorative..
There are three things basic to
a good chimney. First, it must be
able to draw off all gases and
smoke resulting from the Combus-
tion of fuels. Its efficiency in this
respect will depend on the size of
the flue, the height Of the chimney,
and the air pressure within the
stack, thought this factor is some-
times difficult to control. Second,
it must be fire -proof. A poorly
constructed chimney is a constant
fire hazard, especially if solid fuels
are used. Third, the chimney must
be built to last. Acids produced by
combustion have a corrosive effect,
and cause certain types of mason-
ry to disintegrate more rapidly
than others. These acids can also
be harmful to metals.
When quality materials are used
and the chimney isput up by com-
petent tradesmen, it can be ex-
pected to give satisfactory service
throughout the We of the house. A
poorly built chimney, on the other
hand, may require repairs every
few years. In the long run, it will
prove expensive. , -
There are a number of good pre-
fabricated chimneys on the market
which areacceptable for use in
NHA financed houses. If the manu-
facturer's installation. instructions
.i are followed carefully these chim-
neys will fulfill their task efficient-
ly.
In many instances a chimney has
two flues, one for the fireplace and
one for the central heating unit.
Since- this type of chimney is more
massive than a single -flue cbim-
ney, it can be made to blend more
easily with the general appearance
of the house.
A chimney can be built either
inside or outside the building, or
within the house itself. There are
advantages in paving the chimney
enclosed within the structure, since
most of the beat that would other-
wise be lost is radiated through
the living area. Moreover, an in-
side chimney is not subject to as
large a variation of temperatures
between top and bottom, and con-
densation which releases destruc-
tive acids is less likely to do dam-
age.
Both exterior and interior Mas-
onry chimneys are built in basical-
ly the same fashion. The exposed
portion of the chimney above the
roof Should not be more than four
times The diameter of the chim-
ney, unless bracing is provided. In
any case, the chimney should pro-
ect at least three feet above its
ghest point of contact with the
roof. If it is •within ten feet of
• the ridge or roof peak, the chim-
ney top must be at Least two feet
higher than the ridge for proper
performance.
Masonry chimneys are heavy and
their footings have 'to support a
greater load per' square foot than
footings for any other Part of the
house. For outside chimneys 'the
footing can be poured as one unit
with the foundation. footing., For
or ffootingi rrgelredeIt is sep-
arate
sound to have a baseMent Column
and a chimney share the same
footing, unless it has beet design-
ed by an engineer.
A masonry chimney with a -flue
lining 'needs' onlyone row of brick,
but two rows are required if the
flue is not lined. Chimney lining
is usually ,made of vitreous clay
tile. For a furnace flue the mini-.
mum inside diameter of the lining
is seven inches, but a fireplace
flue needs a larger cross-section.
Each heating unit should have its
own flue, except for gas-fired ap-
pliances which may share a com-
mon flue if special automatic shut-
offs ` are provided for each con-
nected appliance. For example,
the stove, 'the furnace -and the wa-
ter heater, all using gas as fuel,
may be connected to the one chim-
ney flue.
To reduce 'the fire hazard joints
between chimney bricks should he
completely filled with mortar. This
applies both to the vertical and
horizontal joints. When the mortar
has begun to set the joints should
be "pointed", including joints'' in
that section of the chimney to be
concealed within the walls. Point-
ing hardens the surface. When the
excess mortar squeezed out of a
joint is left hanging along the edge,
it dries out too rapidly and crem-
bles away. The mortar inside the
joint is sometimes affected as well.
Joints in the flue -lining should
not line up horizontally with points
in the brick -work encasing the flue..
At times it is difficult to avoid do-
ing this but joints should be stag-
gered as much as possible.
Where a chimney passes through
a floor or through the roof, two
inches of air space should be left
between it and the surrounding
wood framing. These openings are
later blocked off with metal or
other fire-resistant -material.
Fireplace Requirements
Building a good fireplace takes
both skill and experience. Its
height and depth, as well as the
shape of the apron above the op-
ening, the location of the damper,
the size ' of the smoke shelf; and
the diameter of the flue, all have a
bearing on its efficiency.
Firebricks used in building the
fire chamber should be bedded
with mortar specially made to re -
silt high temperatures. The thick-
ness of the . fire chamber wall
should never be less than the thicle
ness specified in the .book, "Hous-
ing Standards." These standards
which are prescribed for all hous-
ing financed under NHA, also give
details on the depth of the hearth,
the minimum distance ., which
should be allowed between the
sides and the top of the fireplace
opening, and the minimum dis-
tance between the fire chamber
and combustible materials.
Although a single chimney may
serve both n fireplace and a heat-
ing unit the chimney must have
two flues. Flues should be separ-
ated by masonry not less than
four inches thick, unless all points
in the flue linings are staggered.'
In the lower section of the chim-
ney the flues are often set -farther
apart to allow the furnace flue to
bypass the fireplace. Where the
bend in the flue occurs the angle
should not exceed 30, degrees, oth-
erwise the chimney's ability to
draw may he affected.
When a fireplace is included, the
ease of an outside chimney is of-
ten an, extension of the basement
foundation wall. The chimney shaft
WHERE THE SMOKE GOES ---A well-built chimney, car-
ried to a sufficient height, is necessary to the best operation
of the heating unit. A poorly built chimney with mortar
jointa that are not properly filled with mortar can become a
fire hazard, •

It Vas annocnuced :this week by
John Berry, Goderich, that :a total
of $13,366,17 has been contributed
by Huron County citizens hi the
Blitz for World Refugee Year held
in 'Mae, The total represents ap-
proximately $4,000 above the' tar-
get as set iu March by- the Huron
County committee in. Charge, of
which Mr, Berry acted as treas-
urer.
• The blitz was unique in that Hur-
on County t was the onlycounty in
o LY
the Province of Ontario that was
organized by a group of local citi-
zens for the purpose of raising
money to assist the Canadian Coin-
mittee for World' Refugee Year to
help clear the refugee camps in
Europe.
Mrs. Frank Fingland, Clinton,
who was instrumental in organiz-
ing the blitz, describedthe results
as "overwhelming".
"We are more than pleased with
the response," said Mrs. Fingland,
"although we do know that there
were many in the county who were
not contacted. It was both amaz-
ing and heart-warming to observe
the growing interest during the
campaign on the part of Huron
County citizens as they learned of
the plight of the refugees. While
World Refugee Year is officially
closed in June, the problem is not
by any means solved. We, in Can-
ada,`who have the second highest
standard of living in the world,
will of necessity, and in a spirit of
compassion, continue to give to
these despairing people."
