Wall Pass-Through Question

[travisk]

It is Selkirk Sentinel. The model is CF. It was bought at an independent store. Same stuff is carried at home hardware and rona up here in canada.

Got it. That is a Canadian only pipe. Can you get ICC Excel pipe anywhere up there. That is approved for Canada and has 1" insulation for an exterior dimension of 8".

To answer your original question. No, it won't hurt to run the flue without the chase for the winter. Seems like a bummer to tear it down though. If you do choose to go this route be sure to install the proper exterior flashing where the tee snout enters the house.

Its available for almost double the price. I'm cheap so I'll take a saturday afternoon of rebuilding the chase over buying the ICC pipe. This house is a 5-year flip so I'm trying to keep cost down. But the way everything goes, that's almost impossible.

Frugality is ok as long as rebuilding the chase doesn't end up more costly. Your labor counts for something too.

I don't think it's class A. They don't make 90 deg. elbows for class A. Look at that label and tell us what it says on it. Maybe also take a picture of the top cap and then pull the the cap and take a top down view shot.

thats not a 90, its 2 45* elbows- only legal to use in canada as far as i know

looks like class a pipe to me

now i read the whole thread, and the 45* elbows make a little more sense...

The chase is easily salvageable now that I sit down and think it out. I have to open the face of it to get the wall bands on anyways so I'll just run another 2x4 down each side before I put the sheating back on and that will give me the extra 1.5" I need.
