Putting in a wood burning stove pike through metal roof.

Get ready for a visit from santa this year with a chimney for your steelmaster building. Use your feet to flatten the flashing down over the contour of the roof. Flashings for steeper pitched roofs are available. Make sure to put a bead of silicone around the storm collar where it meets the chimney pipe.

Use your finger or a tool to smooth the silicone around. For roof pitches from 2 12 to 6 12. When installing a chimney for a wood stove on a metal roof you ll first need to assess the position. Drill a small hole in this spot to mark the chimney s center.

Screw it down in a way that its fits tight over the humps of the metal roof. Continue assembly maintaining the clearances to combustibles. Seals penetration where pipe passes through roof. As you assemble each pipe section secure the outer wall using three 10 3 4 self tapping stainless steel sheet metal screws.

Add a wood burning stove to your steel building. The chimney pipe must protrude through the roof a minimum of 2 feet and it must be at least 10 feet away from the roof line. Then attach the pipe to the stove and chimney pipe making sure it is rigid and tight. After trimming your pipe use black furnace cement to seal between each piece and three sheet metal screws at each joint.

Next using a 5 16 nut driver attach the chimney rain cap to the chimney pipe. We recommend bracing vertical venting every 5 to 6 feet. After screwing it down securely do another bead of silicone around the edge also put some silicone on all the screws as well. Use in conjunction with storm collar part 6t sc to seal between flashing and vent pipe.

Using a compass draw out the chimney s diameter.
