hearth.com has been great and has recommended I may need to extend my class a chimney higher. The existing stack is old and made in Canada I believe. If I buy a new section, what are the chances that it will mate to the existing? There is some sections for sale locally that I may be able to grab for a good price.

So basically, are class A connections universal or manufacturer specific?

Thanks for any help!
 
MrKenmore,

If i'm thinking correctly, I'm pretty sure it's security chimney, made in Canada. I have about 14' of it in the garage attic with a thimble and a rain cap.
(four 3' sections and one 2' section). My Dad had it for a short period of time in his home, and then removed it. Double wall insulated stainless. The info sticker on it should be red in color. This stuff is 6 inch id.
 
NO YOU CAN NOT MIX AN MATCH
IT would not be cost effective for a manufacure to make a pipe that Brand Cheepo would fit.
