CRack it the Bottom of the elbow in a through the wall kit.

[hearnoevil]

Cleaned my chimney yesterday, and inspected it, found something that made me sick. A crack in the bottom of the Elbow in the Through the wall kit.

My elbow is an older one, the bottom does not come out of it.

Couple questions can I just buy this elbow or do I have to buy the whole kit with the wall mount?

Also is there a trick to sporting the Chimney so that I can change this or does the whole Chimney have to come down.

Thanks

Do I have to take the full Chimney down?

Good heads up that you caught it. I'd bring that or a new piece to an auto body shop and ask if they beef it up and mig weld it.

if its fasten at the top you will be ok to change it out maybe prop it up with something as well

What kind of pipe is it. I think Simpsons duratech has like a 25 year warranty on it. Check warranty possibilities also.

Not sure what kind.


I checked on the price of a new one, it's 189 not too bad.

I'm worried about getting it apart now.
