I have a new Regency 2400. The installer put in a section of pipe approx. 2ft long directly connected to the collar on the top of the stove. Connected to that section is a longer section taking it up to the ceiling where this piece connects to a larger ceiling section.
Question1. Why the short 2 foot section? Is this to allow that piece to be slid into the next section in case the stove is to be removed?
Question2. The factory ridged seam of the 2 pieces of pipe do not line up creating a fair gap on the backside of the pipe. Is this a problem? I tried removing the metal screws holding them together to try and twist them to line up, however I couldn't budge them.
Question3. After removing the top baffles above the air tubes I notice there was some creosote at the lower lip of the stove collar. I cannot remove the air wash tubes...they're a PITA I understand to get out so I just used a nylon hand brush to clean the excess soot away. Does anyone stick the chimney brush from bottom up to clean?
