Yes, that is a puzzler as to why the need for 2 tees. Typically a tee is installed for cleaning purposes.
Are they intending to service two wood heating appliances with this one flue? If so, that is for certain not permitted.
OK, I see a picture added, that helps. Now we can at least speculate. It looks like there is an existing cleanout door at the bottom of the chimney correct? If so it looks like the upper tee #1 is for connecting the stove and the lower tee #2 is capped on the bottom with another cap on the clean out door side. I'm guessing that the intent is to allow the flue to be cleaned with removal of the lower tee's cap through the cleanout door?
The opening on the bottom has no door just an opening and not very big only about the size of a brick maybe just a little bigger. I am sure the first tee would be for the furnace. Would it be better to put a small hole to remove the bottom of the first Tee?
