Clearance to combustibles

[Trixigirl]

So, we had took out our single wall pipe out of our chimney and saw that we needed to go up through the roof. We got the materials to do so, but noticed that we have a roof rafter that is one inch away from the pipe I am installing in the attic. Is there a way to overcome the clearance to combustibles and if not, how is the best way to move the roof rafter. Thanks in advance.

1" is very close unless using Excel chimney. What materials did you get? Can you post some pictures of the current situation in the attic?

We got Duratech chimney with double wall pipe.

We got Duratech chimney with double wall pipe.

2 options: offset with a pair of 30 degree elbows. Or cut the rafter back and head it off on both sides with double 2x6's. For added strength you can put a leg vertically that will tie the roof rafter with the bottom cord. I would opt for heading it off if it was me. *

*not applicable to a truss roof system. Only rafters.
