Loose "t" clean out - help on how to fix?

[BucksCounty]

I noticed inspecting the "t" cap this morning that it appeared to slip lower on the "t" support, while the fire was going. I have a strap around it to help secure it in place. Are there any further steps I can do?

I was going to crip the "t" a little more to enable the cap to slid up more on the "t" support. Good idea?

Also, I was going to put a couple drops of stove pipe cement to help secure the connection. Will just a couple dabs still enable me to take the cap off to clean pipe in a couple months?

I would drill a hole and put a screw in it to hold it in place.

Thanks Todd. I really feel dumb right now for not thinking about doing that.

Everyone has an occasional brain fart every now and then. :lol:

I have them all the time. It's sad.
