A wood burning fireplace should not be installed with B vent pipe as B venting is not tested to withstand the temperatures produced by wood burning, so this is either a very dangerous installation or the hearth system the B vent pipe is serving is not actually a wood burning fireplace at all. For clarity, I recommend searching the actual hearth system the flue is serving for a manufacturer name andor model number. With this information, you may be able to determine what this missing piece actually is. However, if the 4 section was in the crawl space and this truly is a wood burning fireplace, it could be the mesh screening material used on the horizontal cap used with many outside air kits to prevent pests from entering.

Kevin from Indianapolis, IN asked April 2. I currently have a 1. Type B Double Wall twist lock flue pipe, surrounded by a fake chimney above the roof. I want to remove the fake chimney, do you know if I need the fake chimney to support my pipe Will I need a braceWill my pipe leak into my house Answers. Due to the diameter of your piping, it is likely that the pipe will be self supporting without an issue. It is recommended that a brace be used if the pipe projects 5 feet or more above the roof. The pipe is designed to be air tight and will have at least one inch of overlap at each pipe joint. As such, water should not make its way into the pipe if the sections are attached properly. You should only need to add a roof flashing and storm collar in order to complete the transition to a free standing pipe. Collin C. NFI Master Hearth Professional on April 2.
