Installing Stove Pipe Through Steel Roof

Installation of the stove pipe is the same as for vertical installation.

Installing stove pipe through steel roof. Drill a small hole in this spot to mark the chimney s center. Then attach the pipe to the stove and chimney pipe making sure it is rigid and tight. Place the chimney where it would be related to the stove and mark the center of the chimney on the ceiling. Then connect it to the wall thimble.

Next using a 5 16 nut driver attach the chimney rain cap to the chimney pipe. Heavier gauge pipe will likely have adjustable slip joints which will eliminate the need for trimming. After screwing it down securely do another bead of silicone around the edge also put some silicone on all the screws as well. Use your feet to flatten the flashing down over the contour of the roof.

Last fasten each section of stovepipe with self tapping screws. Now that we are completed on the roof it s time to connect the single wall stove pipe to the insulated chimney pipe. When installing a chimney for a wood stove on a metal roof you ll first need to assess the position. Use your finger or a tool to smooth the silicone around.

Screw it down in a way that its fits tight over the humps of the metal roof. After trimming your pipe use black furnace cement to seal between each piece and three sheet metal screws at each joint. 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. Remove the rubber boot.

Slide the rubber boot over the pipe to check the fit. Install the slip connector or telescoping section last. Trim the flashing in the center of the rubber boot with a roofing knife so it fits snugly around the pipe. Start with the rigid sections and work from the stove to the wall.
