My brick chase is 25" from the ridge vent to the top of the concrete cap. It's at the end of the house right at the peak so it meet 10 and 2 but not 3.

I think I'm going to scrap the Duraliner Rigid for a heavy flex liner so this out me under 3' from the top plate or exit now.

I'm not sure if if this really needs remedied or not. I suspect the prior owner re.oved a few courses when they took out the clay flue tiles.

I was thinking I could just set a big enough clay tile on top of the cap bedded in mortar or concrete and slope it away.

The top of the Duraliner would have put me around 3 feet above the peak but if you can count the top of the flex jd be maybe 30?
 
I believe the right way to do it is to terminate the flex liner into a anchor plate then from the anchor plate use a section of class a pipe, this will keep the flue gasses warmer then a single wall section exposed to the bare weather

If I extended the chase with a flue tiles then the liner would be insulated right up to the anchor plate. I would have to worry about a strong anchor plate attachment this way. Plus a 20' liner will have 4 feet excess in my case so no need to buy any class a.
