Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the direct exposure of chimney components to corrosive flue gases and condensates, and extreme fluctuations in temperature, will lead to the premature failure of chimney liners, which could lead to the spillage of combustion products, which could lead to the leakage of carbon monoxide gas into living space, which could lead to the acute poisoning or asphyxiation of persons.
