My problem is when I go on the roof to remove the cap so I can run the brush through for cleaning, the pipe turns, making it very hard to get the cap off.
Each time I clean the flue, I clean the cap, especially the area where the two lock together, as the creosote seems to build up there, but alas, each time it gets "glued" again.
The system is designed to sit cradled in the ceiling box, then go up through the roof.
Unless I missed a step in the install directions, the only thing preventing the pipe from turning is the caulk that seals the pipe to the collar (which has failed from the pressure exerted trying to free the cap.)
Is there a way to secure the pipe?
Thanks.
