How To Install a Chimney Through a Metal Roof

[@DanK00707]

I wish more videos were like this and straight to the point, well done sir.

[@MrTpe2]

Thankyou for just saying what to do, soo many KZbinrs just talk a whole bunch of shit for 20mins when they could just say it in 2mins

[@TheWeedugs]

Great to see a video like this. No beating about the bush and needless waffle! 10/10

[@sambleasdale3571]

I wish every instructional video was done like this.

[@jimgomolka2132]

Short but includes all the information needed. Great!

[@johnmeye]

EXCELLENT!! Very few words to communicate a ton of very helpful information👍👍

[@TheDond56]

One suggestion is turn the boot like a diamond. Allows less surface area for water to pool and top two sides act as channels to move the water along

[@dieseltrucksfirewood2540]

Good tip.

[@joedirt9600]

Good idea buddy, I'm installing my Selkirk this weekend in the cabin and was just flipping through some ideas and reading your comment..makes sense.

[@adxn7946]

Yep that makes sense, thanks for that tip, im just about to fit the boot.

[@KevinMaxwell-o3t]

Yes, please turn that flashing! The professional method sets it up as a diamond so water is shedded.

[@aternst]

Folks, that is about as precise and short as it gets. Nice post.

[@RecentlyAdded1]

Between that and your smokehouse you never need to go back into the house again! Great video Lou!

[@moalepe5]

thank you for the simple instructions. this video is extremely helpful

[@derrickthomas3060]

Now that it has been up for a while, I noticed that single wall pipes were lapped backwards from what I have in my house. When I installed the chimney, I had them stacked the way you did where the lower pipe went into the upper one. Then an oldtimer gave me some advice and told me the creosote will run down the pipe over the years and leak out those joints. It was better to run the pipe with the upper pipes connecting into the lower ones. Is that what you are seeing? I don't have any smoke leaking out of my pipes and never had any creosote leaks either. Anyways, great to-the-point video! I am replacing my flashing with a boot this year and this is the GO TO VIDEO! Thank you.

[@KevinMaxwell-o3t]

Yes, I saw that. I've always had the upper pipe slide into the one below, because creosote and condensation WILL run out of an upside down joint.

[@mlauntube]

Excellent instructions and video editing. Excellent audio quality. Subscribed.

[@HowToLou]

Thanks for the sub!

[@willschiemer9616]

Perfect video, straight to the point

[@edone6663]

Good explanation makes way easier Thank you

[@200cdl]

Dang , perfectly explained, I might even try it,

[@TheTim69]

Good simple and clear video Nice shed by the way🤘

[@chipwave4599]

Finally someone that gets it just make it simple stupid lol this video rules. Great job.

[@valtim22]

Ha I love it . Gravity is holding this together so I don't need any screews. 😂

[@willfisher860]

Now that it has been in place for a year has it started leaking yet or corroding on the high side where the water pools, or where you cut the steel with a grinder?

[@HowToLou]

I just looked and there are no leaks or corrosion.

[@ericclayton6514]

I put my flashing on as good and pro as possible and it leaks on the high side , not sure if it's the pitch of my roof or just living in Washington state

[@obsoleteprofessor2034]

I didn't know a soft edge roof jack existed. THANKS!

[@Andrew-jm4tp]

Great video. Saved me a lot of time.

[@-OPPORTUNITYBARN-]

Striaght to the point! No dicking around! Perfect!

[@terryp12345]

Do you have to support the double wall chimney pipe with something up there, or is it all just gravity?

[@johnkelly6129]

Great video but isn’t the chimney pipe supposed to be a bit higher than that?

[@HowToLou]

Technically yes, but my wife did not want to see the chimney above the roofline. I put the top of the chimney even with the peak of the roof with the idea that I could quickly add another 2 foot section of double wall stainless chimney on top, if I needed it for draft. I have not had any issues, with winds from all directions, so there is no need, in my case. Part of what helps my draft is that my chimney is a 15 foot vertical run with no elbows to slow the smoke.

[@CherylCold]

Brilliant and under 2 minutes!

[@remmy5676]

Good video. To the point no b.s. 👍

[@Greenkabin]

I was told once say the cap should be about 2ft above the roof surface not sure I saw high and low cap was installed in youtube

[@HowToLou]

Yes, best practice is to have the top of the chimney at least 24 inches above the ridge, to prevent downdraft when wind comes from the other side and over the ridge. This is less of an issue with my low pitch roof and I have good exhaust momentum since I have no bends in the chimney

[@Greenkabin]

@@HowToLou I bought a set not install yet, but the cap is going to be connect right on top of double wall and the double wall is 14 inches high so I would say the cap will be about 1¹/² ft from the roof. My cabin was built with steel panel and only 2.5 inches thick

[@HowToLou]

That all sounds good. If you have any draw problems, you can always add another section of double wall later.

[@69trading76]

your the man ! awesome video. exactly what i need

[@MacsVacs]

Do you not have to have a damper flap in the piping?

[@baagii0830]

Hello, what is the highest temperature it can resist? Would it be too much for a single layer chimney pipe?

[@HowToLou]

I think silicone is good to 600 degrees. Single pipe is fine until you have a chimney fire and the single wall pipe glows cherry red and gets way over 600 degrees. Single wall is not to code, because it can be very dangerous. I have had chimney fires. They are scary.

[@marvvalens4522]

Can the rubber flashing be used on wood? Help pls

[@kopronko]

Good. Anyone maybe knows, where can i buy such high temperature boot , here in EU ? Thank you .

[@puremontana5010]

Amazon

[@HowToLou]

Google Dektite brand. Amazon has them too.

[@carl8568]

Do you use any of the high temp silicone on the join between the flue and the top of the dektite flashing? Or is it a secure seal?

[@HowToLou]

Its a secure seal. It’s stretched on tight!

[@matthewthornton9514]

Where did u get the rubber flexible flashing peice for the top of the roof? I need to do my shop.

[@HowToLou]

Amazon Dektite high temp “boot”.

[@127cmore]

Good video. Do you squeeze silicone around the top of the red flashing where it meets the stove pipe ?

[@Ranger_48]

You shouldn't need to, being rubber-like, it should seal itself because of the tight fit.

[@127cmore]

@@Ranger_48 Thanks for your reply 🙏 👍

[@noahschmartz2354]

idk, how is the water supposed to get away from the valleys?

[@konanbreed9668]

Can someone please tell me where i can purchase one of these things?

[@mikesmale1853]

Thanks for this! 😊

[@joshuamorris9050]

Where did you get that silicone flashing piece

[@HowToLou]

[@itsoktoberight4431]

Why cut a big square out instead of a circle just a bit bigger than the chimney?

[@HowToLou]

You want to keep the hot metal chimney away from the metal roof.

[@TheSpatulaCity]

I wish all my projects went that fast.

[@thegoodlife2021]

For the boot on the roof Is there any wood behind the roof or are the screws ok to just through the metal? I guess what I’m asking is did you frame out behind the boot with wood?

[@HowToLou]

No wood under the metal under the boot. Stay as FAR from wood as you can.

[@inkbythebarrelandpaperbyth6905]

Thank you Lou!!

[@divitdean2359]

Could i ask why single wall pipe than double wall threw ceiling ?

[@HowToLou]

You want single wall inside, so it radiates more heat, but insulated double wall through through roof so it does not burn off your roof paint or catch your trusses on fire.

[@dennisgrubbs1929]

Nice thanks

[@beanoneya]

Thanks! Useful!

[@aeorcr]

Great video, would you mind telling me the amazon links for the single wall to double wall adapter, the double wall tube and the rain shield . (i am trying to set up something similar but in my country this are not widely available but i can order from amazon, hence the request, thanks in advance)

[@HowToLou]

Search Amazon for high temp silicone chimney boot. You need an orange one, not black. I bought my pipes at a local hardware store. Just search for 6 inch, stainless steel, insulated, double wall chimney pipes. They are fairly expensive. I think I paid around $50 each.

[@aeorcr]

@@HowToLou Thanks for the reply Lou !! Keep up with the channel, really interesting stuff

[@cowboys2621]

Would butyl tape work better than sealant?

[@HowToLou]

I would use sealant. It covers thicker gaps.

[@johndunlavey2671]

Hi. Great vid! Where do you buy the rubber flashing for the roof?

[@HowToLou]

Amazon. Search high temp silicone chimney boot

[@lesterrobinson4894]

Looks like the stove pipe is put together backwards
