In Plain Language

Fireplaces must conform to the requirements of Section 9.22, the Code's dedicated fireplace construction provisions, rather than the general HVAC equipment rules in this Part.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
