This description says "through the Roof" does this mean it is designed to be exposed to the outside elements and not required to be inside a chase/chimney?
1 Answer
This pipe can indeed be installed in such a manner, though the outside wall is galvanized. We would recommend either painting the pipe or having it cleaned annually to prevent rust/corrosion. Please note: the 8DM chimney is only intended for use on select Superior/IHP woodburning fireplace models.

I have this chimney system for my Superior WRT3042. The instructions call for "waterproof caulk" where the chimney pipe meets the storm collar & flashing, but do not clarify any requirements or part numbers for a sealant product. Obviously, the sealant must be rated for exterior use, but (assuming the wood burning chimney will get hot) what temperature does the sealant need to be able to resist, and do you have a specific product for this purpose?
1 Answer
Unless specified by the manufacturer for a specific heat rating, you can use any high-temperature silicone sealant, which normally withstands 600 degrees.
