Chimney Tee Components for Class A Chimney Systems
Chimney tees are used to create a 90-degree transition in a chimney system when venting a wood stove or fireplace through a wall. These components allow chimney pipe to exit the building horizontally before turning vertically outside the home.
This collection includes chimney tees, clean-out tee caps, and tee accessories designed for 6-inch and 8-inch Class A chimney systems. Shasta Vent tee components help installers create safe through-the-wall chimney installations while providing easy access for chimney inspection and cleaning.
Chimney Tee Components & Accessories
Chimney tees are an essential component in through-the-wall chimney installations. A tee is a T-shaped pipe connection that allows a horizontal pipe coming from a wall thimble to transition into a vertical chimney stack outside the building.
Most chimney tees include a removable clean-out cap at the bottom. This cap allows homeowners and chimney professionals to access the base of the chimney for inspection, maintenance, and removal of soot or creosote buildup.
In many installations, the tee connection also works with a tee support bracket mounted to the exterior wall. The support bracket carries the weight of the vertical chimney stack so the chimney system remains stable and properly aligned.
Below is an overview of chimney tee components used in Class A chimney systems.
Chimney Tee with Clean-Out Cap
A chimney tee with clean-out cap is the main connection used in through-the-wall chimney installations. The horizontal opening connects to the chimney pipe passing through the wall thimble, while the vertical section connects to the chimney stack running up the exterior of the building.
The removable cap at the bottom allows the chimney to be easily cleaned and inspected without disassembling the entire chimney system.
Tee Support Components
Tee supports are used with chimney tees to carry the weight of the vertical chimney stack outside the building. These supports mount to the exterior wall and hold the tee connection securely in place.
Without proper support brackets, the weight of the chimney system could stress the wall thimble or connector pipe.
Chimney Tee Accessories
Tee accessories include components such as clean-out caps, support brackets, and connection hardware designed to complete a tee installation.
These accessories help improve chimney stability, simplify chimney maintenance, and ensure the chimney system remains properly supported.
Why Chimney Tees Matter
Chimney tees are critical components for many wood stove and fireplace venting systems. They help:
✓ create a safe 90-degree transition from interior pipe to exterior chimney
✓ support through-the-wall chimney installations
✓ provide a clean-out access point for chimney maintenance
✓ stabilize the base of an exterior chimney stack
✓ ensure proper chimney system alignment
Using a properly installed chimney tee system helps maintain safe chimney performance and simplifies long-term chimney cleaning.
Chimney Tee FAQs
A chimney tee creates a 90-degree connection that allows chimney pipe to exit through a wall and then run vertically up the outside of the building.
The clean-out cap allows easy access to the base of the chimney for removing soot and creosote during chimney maintenance.
Yes. A tee support bracket is typically required to carry the weight of the vertical chimney stack outside the building.
Yes. Chimney tees are typically used for through-the-wall installations. Straight-up chimney installations through the ceiling usually do not require a tee connection.
Chimney tees must match the diameter of the chimney pipe system. Most residential wood stove installations use 6-inch or 8-inch Class A chimney pipe, and the tee size should match that diameter.
