Installing Stove Pipe Through Steel Roof

Place the chimney where it would be related to the stove and mark the center of the chimney on the ceiling.

Installing stove pipe through steel roof.

After screwing it down securely do another bead of silicone around the edge also put some silicone on all the screws as well. Heavier gauge pipe will likely have adjustable slip joints which will eliminate the need for trimming. When installing a chimney for a wood stove on a metal roof you ll first need to assess the position. Then connect it to the wall thimble.

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. Trim the flashing in the center of the rubber boot with a roofing knife so it fits snugly around the pipe. After trimming your pipe use black furnace cement to seal between each piece and three sheet metal screws at each joint. The chimney for the stove consists of a metal chimney pipe that goes through a chimney box also known as a ceiling collar and terminates above the roof.

Installation of the stove pipe is the same as for vertical installation. Use your finger or a tool to smooth the silicone around. Start with the rigid sections and work from the stove to the wall. Install the slip connector or telescoping section last.

Remove the rubber boot. Last fasten each section of stovepipe with self tapping screws. Then attach the pipe to the stove and chimney pipe making sure it is rigid and tight. Now that we are completed on the roof it s time to connect the single wall stove pipe to the insulated chimney pipe.

Use your feet to flatten the flashing down over the contour of the roof. Trace the outline of the base of the rubber boot onto the metal roof with a pencil. Drill a small hole in this spot to mark the chimney s center. Slide the rubber boot over the pipe to check the fit.
