Answer:
No, once you go to class A you must stay there until the termination. A few reasons for this:
1. The pipes are not designed to mate correctly in this way.
2. The single wall will get too cold, ruining the draft and causing creosote.
3. The single wall could get too hot and ignite birds nests, etc that might be near or built on it.
