Joe the homeowner wants a wood burning stove in the family room, just like the one he had as a kid. Today he’s pitching in to help install the stainless steel piping. Kevin O'Connor finds Joe and chimney expert Jonathan Hawkins on the second floor snaking the pipe up through the roof. On the roof, the pipe is connected and assembled to six feet tall according to the pitch of the roof. They make sure it’s plumb, centered, sealed at the joints and secured to the roof.

@mark76197 4 года назад

Storm collar goes on top of insulation shield to prevent insulation from coming into contact with the pipe. There should be a storm collar on top of the flashing as well. They are required in both locations.

Why did they make such a large hole (and an oval). Also I would have wrapped that connection even if it had a special seal. Belt + Suspenders. Also, you know somewhere the roofers were probably screaming at them for how they sealed that and what not. Looked sloppy to me as well.

@turnipking5152 4 года назад

They needed 2inch clarence to combustibles. As for the oval hole the roof is slanted to if you was centered above the pipe it would be a circle 2inches bigger than the pipe on either side

In other videos from This Old House they partially nailed into the roof, sealed it, finished nailing and ensured it was covered with sealant to weatherproof the penetrations. None of that here...why?

@tonymarony1 4 года назад

Sorry I should of watch it to the end they corrected themselves. Still the caulking around the pipe was sloppy. Length of pipe coming out the roof is based on the 10/2 rule. If the pipe is within 10 feet of the peak then it has to be 2 feet above that peak. If greater than 10' and you have a minimum of 14 feet total run (check your manual for minimum vent run) then the pipe can be about 4' above roof line.

@jpatrick1967 4 года назад

Not every town has the same rules. Maybe check where they are before commenting.

@Ramdodge582 4 года назад

@@jpatrick1967 it's based on the mfg of the pipe too. also a good installer will check/ask for normal wind direction to make sure the peaks/ other house structures doesn't affect draft. sometimes you will need to greatly exceed the minimum height to get a good draft in single story chimney when there is a 2nd story nearby.

@franktownsend2676 Год назад

Kevin has material over his rope! That he dragged under! At 3:10 in the video. Major safety hazard. If he slips and pulls on rope, pulls that section of pipe over top of him probably won't hurt him but if it falls off the roof! Piece is probably scrap. And kills anybody standing below roof at worst! This video is not a video I'd expect you all to keep up unless it's a warning to others we all learn on the job!

@tonymarony1 4 года назад

Aare you serious? The storm collar goes over the roof flashing which also should be sealed underneath as an extra precaution. I am a licensed and insured mechanical contractor specializing in fireplaces for over 25 years.

@bigredj87 4 года назад

Pretty sure that first storm collar was to close off the insulation shield to protect the engineered air space. Also, I’ll double check the install manual on DuraTech, but the flashing should be ventilated and not sealed. The upper storm collar provides the flexible needed while providing overlap to keep it dry.

@questionsforchristians 2 года назад

didnt mention code specifics, using the same brand of chimney pipe throughout is required, didn't silicone the flashing, didnt mention code specifics on the attic/roof or distance from combustable materials, didnt mentioned situations where one would use single wall stove pipe, chimney pipe, double wall triple wall, type A or type B pipe. etc etc

@albowrx 2 года назад

Code change from region to region. In some regions there's not even any codes. You can't even see if they did silicone or didn't silicone the flashing, but since this is a new roof install I don't see how this matters, unless it's code in your area. Most of This Old house videos aren't instructions videos on DIY step by step if you haven't figured it out by now. They are just in surface videos to give an idea. As an HVAC contractor though, class A chimney is one of the most dangerous chimney installs and needs to be done by someone that has either researched the clearances and can climb roofs, or leave it to a pro.

@Joe Kinchicken Where the hell? Your reaction is a little extreme don't you think? I have natural gas. But for you to assume the entire planet does is naive. And an ice storm in Quebec or natural disaster in NY shows areas can be without power for weeks at a time. That's why Quebec had a surge in wood fireplace installations. If you think it'll never happen to you well I hope you're lucky because you're living in denial. There are a number of ways your local power grid can go down. And without power you can't use fans etc. Now you'll tell me everyone has solar power since it's so cheap and efficient lol.

@cgaccount3669 4 года назад

@Joe Kinchicken I know. But without a fan the heating capability is extremely reduced since heat can't be blown around the home. I guess if you have a bunch of gas fireplaces it's better than nothing. I also wonder if the gas pipelines need electricity? If not the pipes the monitors must?
