Hi all
I need some tips running a 6″ class A stove pipe through a 10/12 metal roof. It is master rib, with ribs on 12″ centers. I have never flashed one like this and I want to do it right the first time. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

I just completed a similar installation on a cottage that I'm building on Lake Nipissing in Northern Ontario. 12/12 pitch with metal roof, 18" sofit. Originally I intended to run the pipe straight through the cathedral ceiling but my stove supplier suggested going through the wall in order to facilitate a clean out 'T'. This would eliminate trying to clean the pipe from the inside and all the associated mess and cleanup.
I looked into a flexible flashing that incorporated a rubber boot and an aluminum trim piece, similar to the vent stack that I installed for the chimney. This would then be capped with a S.S. flashing normally associated with S.S. chimneys.
After picking the brains of a few local installers, they suggested cutting the eaves back, allowing for the 2" clearance and flashing as required. I must confess, a first I though this rather strange, however when you measure the diameter of the chimney flashing it would have overhung the fascia. I looked at a couple of installations and decided on this method. I've attached a picture. Difficult installation since I only had 3 sections of scaffold. I'm on an island and I wasn't prepared to waste the best part of a day to drive into town and rent additional scaffolding. My son and I assembled 4 sections as a unit and then lifted it on top of the 't' section. Lots of fun! Also a tricky situation to install the wind brace.
thanks You've got me thinking about some new ways to do this. I will probably still have to go straight up because I plan on adding a gable roof that will intersect near my pipe . If I go straight up out of my room then I can avoid landing too close to the valley. Any recomended sources for pipe parts? Maybe online resources?
