Edit: Rockford sells a cap to fix the below problem. Does anyone else have input from using a vacustack?
Has anyone ever used this combination? I recently ordered them along with other parts to extend my chimney and the Vacu Stack leaves the Class A pipe's insulation exposed (see attached photos). The Vacu Stack for air cooled pipes has a cover that looks like it would cover this but it also has spacers that elevate the cover above the pipe so rain could still get to the insulation. I really wanted to use this cap to help improve my draft (which is why I'm adding a 4' piece of Class A). Any thoughts?
