Flimsy Clean out Tee Plug

[southbalto]

I ended up going with Metal Fab Class A in stainless.

Overall I thought the quality of construction was pretty good. The only execption really is the clean out tee plug. The plug itself is really no more than a thin guage metal cup and is secured by two stainless self tapping screws to the tee itself. It's the only section of the chimney system that isn't insulated.

Is that normal?

the duratech is a little better it twists off and is fairly thick but could fall out if someone didnt know to pound it in correctly..

Good enough for UL so good enough for me I suppose. Just shocked that that thin guage cup is what is between combustibles and a chimney fire.

They also have an insulated "twist on" type for installations close to combustibles.
