smell and see smoke.

Hey all.I need some advice..I recently installed a Jamestown stove..Coming out of stove I have a 3-4 pipe enlarger then a 4" t with clean out. straight up for 4'then 2-45's and out the wall.

My issue is my t clean out is leaking smoke..I didnt silicone it cause that just doesnt make much sense.what else can I do or why is this happening

2 places you will get smoke out of a tee, 1 , the joint where you have the horizontal and vertical pipes meet , they are usually sealed on the inside, and 2 more common, the cap at the bottom of the tee, not where is twist locks , but the bottom of the cap . mine did , what i did was to fill the area between the inner and outer on the cap itself with 550 degree silicone , hasnt leaked since. hope this helps

Is there any vertical pipe up the outside wall?

Is there any vertical pipe up the outside wall?

good point , i missed that , too many sam's

re read, he has 4'vert inside , that should help not hurt

no there is no vertical pipe as yet...I am goning to buy another t clean out for the out side and run up 5 feet...

I did silicone the bottom of cleanout already and thought that did it but I guess not.I think mine is pouring out the twist area.

You may not need another Tee perhaps just a 90 and the 5'. Wouldnt be that hard to disassemble and clean out and the 5' would help with the draft.

 

[stoveguy2esw]

you may want to take the tee off and check the joint where the pipes meet (horizontal and vertical) the twist lock should seal fairly well, may even be a defective section of pipe , check that the inner pipe is not damaged where the tee and the cap mate up

I will inspect the t clean out for improper closure/fitting.
