Has anyone ever used a Tee in an horizontal run. my pipe leaves the stove runs 2 feet threw the wall and than is 18" from the outside wall. My local stove guy says that code here is 18". I found a tee at a local tractor supply for 5 bucks and bought it just cause I thought it was a good deal didn't really need it but,Anyway I thught about using it in the run outside to get me further away from the combustible wall. If I take out the clean-out and put it in the side it makes me a horizontial run about 10" with a bottom or top cleanout. my question is will this work or just make a lot of ash and cleanup for me?
Useing a tee in a horizontal run??

I'd try and exchange the Tee for a straight piece before I would use it. Even if it's another store, it would be better in my opinion.

A straight piece is always preferable, but for 5 bucks, put the cap on the side, put it on top so it doesn't fill w/ ash, and use it! Operation wise, I doubt you'll notice anything different.
I would think about a vertical run out side the house to help with draft, if the stove losses power this will keep smoke form entering into you house. If you decide to do this you will need a T.
