Reference for Kelim 7:4

הָיְתָה מֻפְרֶשֶׁת מִן הַכִּירָה, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהִיא גְבוֹהָה שָׁלֹשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת, מִטַּמָּא בְמַגָּע וּבַאֲוִיר. פְּחוּתָה מִכָּאן אוֹ שֶׁהָיְתָה חֲלָקָה, טְהוֹרָה. פִּטְפּוּטֵי כִירָה, שְׁלֹשָׁה, שֶׁל שָׁלֹשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת, מִטַּמְּאִים בְּמַגָּע וּבַאֲוִיר. פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן, כָּל שֶׁכֵּן הֵן טְמֵאִים, וַאֲפִלּוּ הֵן אַרְבָּעָה:

If it [the extension] was detached from the stove, if it is three finger-breadths high it contracts impurity by contact and through its air-space; if it was lower or if it was smooth, it is not subject to impurity. If the clay tripod of a stove is three finger-breadths high, it contracts impurity by contact and through its air-space. If it is lower, all the more so does it contract impurity, even if [its props] were four in number.
