Thm was o*26 pipe Ping dmu&the masomy,it sluoutd have been stainless steel oar a properly sized maker sleeve. The smoke pipe was not mortared in place. 4. There was no cover at the boom of the linc r,nor was the liner sealed at the bonbon. S. The top plate instatled was for an 8"mound lin rx not die 6"round liner du t was installed. 6. No storm collar was installed. 7. The top plate was mat scaled to the top of the chimney. 8. No screws wen:used to connect the smoke pipe together. 9. There was not a fisted wail thimble installed as the vent for the gas stow passed through a combustible wait.
