Guys, I ran all my DuraPlus pipe centered through a 2' x 4' chase for a Quadrafire 7100 installation. I was going to order a stainless steel chase top with a standard 3" collar. Then install the pipe through it, pop on the storm collar (with high-temp adhesive), and the cap, and consider it done.
Simpson, the chimney manufacturer said (per phone conversation) that I can not terminate this DuraPlus pipe unless I use their galvanized flat-roof flashing. It's basically a galvy scrap with a cone on top. They said this is necessary to get the UL approval.
Every hear of this? This sounds kind of nutty. Even my chase-top manufacturer is puzzled about this one.
Any info or similar experience feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
