palmettoinspect Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I wanted to post this picture and ask for some of your opinions. It doesnââ¬â¢t look right to me how these two pieces of the fireplace flue are lapped. Shouldnââ¬â¢t the lower piece be installed inside the upper piece? There were no signs of smoke or soot leaking in the chase or attic. Thanks, Kiel Click to Enlarge 45.99 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 It is lapped like it is suppose to be. It lapped that way so if there is a built up of the liquid form it will drain back into the fire place ,not to the outside of the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I called the manufacturer of a fireplace unit with this same question a few years ago and sent a picture. They said that is the way it is supposed to be. You could do the same thing if you know who makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
