How much pipe above roof?

[dieharddan]

Hello, what is your recommendation for the amount of pipe sticking out of the roof? My local building inspector told me to follow the manufacturers instructions and the selkirk pv instructions say 2 feet above the roof surface. Is that enough? I read others recommend the 2ft/10ft rule used with wood stove piping, but if that isnt really necessary i would rather follow the instructions as i think 6ft of piping sticking out of the roof would look ridiculous. And i haven't seen that rule mentioned in multiple other brand instructions, and resources other than on this forum. Alot of the other brand instructions recommend a minimum of 12" above the penetration point.

Thanks!

What does the stove owner's manual recommend?

12" minumum

So, two feet meet that requirement.
How much venting are you running?

 

[dieharddan]

10ft total. 2 1/2 feet of it above the roof.

I'd go with that. You can always add to it if the stove performance suffers.
