Carbon Monoxide Detector

A carbon-monoxide alarm — required where fuel-burning appliances are present.

What is Carbon Monoxide Detector?

Detects a gas with no colour or odour, produced whenever combustion is incomplete or products are not venting correctly. Placement and count are set by code and by the appliance locations. It is a last line of defence, not a substitute for verifying that the venting works — but the last line matters.

Other terms in the glossary

Creosote

Condensed wood-smoke residue on the flue wall, graded by stage — and the stage is the finding that matters.

NFPA 211

The consensus standard governing chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid-fuel appliances.

Inspection Levels

Three defined scopes — and the standard specifies when each is required, not which you prefer.

Flue

The passage carrying combustion products out — one appliance, one flue, correctly sized.

Liner

The barrier between combustion products and the building structure. A breach takes the flue out of service.

Crown

The sloped masonry cap on top of the chimney — the surface that fails first and costs most.
