Hearth in place, Avalon (Travis Industries) EPA stove, 15 ft of 6 inch double wall stove pipe, adapter for 6 inch to 8 inch increase at ceiling, 8 inch ceiling support, insulation shield, 3 each 3 ft sections of Supervent double wall insulated chimney pipe to get thru the attic and out the roof to required height, Dektite hi temp rubber boot flashing to conform to metal roof, DAP 3.0 roof sealant and metal roofing screws to secure and waterproof flashing to roof, storm cap.
So here's my question. I know it's gonna generate some snickers because there must be a logical answer. I promise I have looked for it. My Supervent chimney turns/screws into the ceiling support box and locks in place. The box will be supporting 9 ft of pipe which isn't a problem as its rated to support up to 50 feet. The pipe continues thru the attic and roof while maintaining the 2 inch to combustibles rule. What secures the chimney???? It's seems to me like it's just floating vertically. The only hard contact it has is where it's locked into the ceiling support. I'm imagining this pipe banging around in the attic when we have our gusting winds next spring. I was thinking a couple of metal bands around the pipe then secure the bands into a rafter in opposing directions.
Thanks for your help. I can't wait to complete this project.
