Put on my aquastat cover and the flanges on my stack and vent pipe today and it looks nice.  Dressed it up  Craig mailed them to me Friday.

Saw that those were available on Facebook. How do you like it?

The roof flanges are nice.  Small bead of chaulk  your good to go. The aquastat cover gives it a nice look.  The roof flanges in would really recommend.

Roof flanges

OH OK, now I understand! They look good! Suggestion, get the uninsulated pipe out of your stack and replace it with an adapter and insulated stack pipe, water can and will travel down the outside of your pipe and go directly inside your boiler, I know because I have had to re weld 2 boilers this summer because of that very thing!

Could I put some high temp caulk around it

[slimjim]

It would have to be VERY high temp, your stack temp more than likely is over 1000 degrees when running hard, best bet is insulated chimney as it is wider than your stock chimney and any rainwater simply falls off the drip edge and onto the roof, besides, its a good looking boiler, don't you want the stack to look nice as well?

Hey Slimjim Thanks for the suggestion  I'm gonna go with a insulated stainless stack. Should have it done in a couple days.

I added a "hood" around the base of my chimney this year. I built it out of 20" aluminum flashing. Fashioned it into a cone shape and cut it so it fit the roof. Then I got a 8" band clamp from Menards to clamp the top.
