I'm installing a chase cover and wonder if I should bother patching the old masonry crown ?
Right now the top row of brand new brick have no wash coat on top.

No it will act as a proper overhanging crown which directs the water down past the brick instead of making it run directly down the face.If I understand you correctly, you chase cover will shed the storm water and act as a concrete wash.
Nope there are just much better ways to do itI could be wrong but i don't think concrete or mortar washes are bholler approved. I can see why based on my experience.
***ALWAYS*** Go with what the manufacturer suggests.I kinda figured the pipe clamp question was for fun but wasn't sure
The only hole in the cap is for the 6" liner to pass thru and that's covered by a storm collar. The cover has its own 1" tall collar that the storm collar rests on.
I propably could get by with 4 screws but Rockford suggested 3 on the long sides and 2 on the short sides. Its a 6' x 3' cover so pretty heavy and tends to want to sag on an uneven crown.
Assuming you are drilling the verticle portion of the skirt, IMO, all you need is sheer strength and a blue-n- screw is sufficient. The integrity of the flashing APPEARS strong enough. I do not think you need the strength of tension and sheer that a tap-con will provide.One annoying problem i keep having is I drill the proper holes to accept cement screws but the screw sometimes strips the mortar threads. Its fresh mortar thats cured for about a month.
Yes I am drilling the verticle portion of the skirt. I never heard of a blue-n-screw. I have been using 1/4" tapcons. The cover is 24 gauge stainless.
