Ok I have talked about the chimney a few times in the past and getting ready to pull the trigger on a 5.5" liner. The existing chimney is clay lined with ID of about 6.5x11.25.
My question is about the Tee / cleaning. All the kits I have seen include a Tee thats terminated on the bottom. How are you suppose to access that in a masonry chimney? My cleanout is 10'6" down from the thimble. I've read on some other posts folks say to run liner from the bottom of the Tee down to the cleanout, but the Tees in the kits have clamps at the top to connect the liner to but I havent seen any that have a clamp on the bottom too?
So where does one find a Tee that I can run more liner down to cleanout? Or do you just leave it terminated at Tee and let the creosote accumulate in there, and scoop out whatever you can from inside the house(that sounds messy)?
