Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline due to its higher
corrosion resistance. Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the flue cap meets the minimum height
requirements specified in local codes. Note that for steep roof
pitches, the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or
down drafting can result from high wind conditions near big trees
or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increasing the flue height
may solve the problem.
