Should with no problem. I have the white rod SE and the are really flexible. I think I read the black rods are stiffer.
As above. Fine.
I go through a 90 T where my horizontal section enters the flue liner.

Any updates on this?
We’ve run the black rods around a 90 (T) with great success. It was the easiest thing and we didn’t have to get on the roof. I have gotten on the roof most times to clean it but it was mostly for inspection of flashings etc.
So with bad health or snow and ice up top, I’m sure others can be cleaned from the bottom as well. We always used a shop vacuum with the pipe taped closed down below to capture as much creosote as possible, and if you make a hole in the plastic for the rod this can be effective from the bottom as well.
