Storm collar goes on top of insulation shield to prevent insulation from coming into contact with the pipe. There should be a storm collar on top of the flashing as well. They are required in both locations.

Why did they make such a large hole (and an oval). Also I would have wrapped that connection even if it had a special seal. Belt + Suspenders. Also, you know somewhere the roofers were probably screaming at them for how they sealed that and what not. Looked sloppy to me as well.

Sorry I should of watch it to the end they corrected themselves. Still the caulking around the pipe was sloppy. Length of pipe coming out the roof is based on the 10/2 rule. If the pipe is within 10 feet of the peak then it has to be 2 feet above that peak. If greater than 10' and you have a minimum of 14 feet total run (check your manual for minimum vent run) then the pipe can be about 4' above roof line.

If you think it'll never happen to you well I hope you're lucky because you're living in denial. There are a number of ways your local power grid can go down. And without power you can't use fans etc. Now you'll tell me everyone has solar power since it's so cheap and efficient lol.

Pretty sure that first storm collar was to close off the insulation shield to protect the engineered air space. Also, I’ll double check the install manual on DuraTech, but the flashing should be ventilated and not sealed. The upper storm collar provides the flexible needed while providing overlap to keep it dry.

Code change from region to region. In some regions there's not even any codes. You can't even see if they did silicone or didn't silicone the flashing, but since this is a new roof install I don't see how this matters, unless it's code in your area. Most of This Old house videos aren't instructions videos on DIY step by step if you haven't figured it out by now. They are just in surface videos to give an idea. As an HVAC contractor though, class A chimney is one of the most dangerous chimney installs and needs to be done by someone that has either researched the clearances and can climb roofs, or leave it to a pro.

Kevin has material over his rope! That he dragged under! At 3:10 in the video. Major safety hazard. If he slips and pulls on rope, pulls that section of pipe over top of him probably won't hurt him but if it falls off the roof! Piece is probably scrap. And kills anybody standing below roof at worst! This video is not a video I'd expect you all to keep up unless it's a warning to others we all learn on the job!

Hey how do you know that's a female connection what if it wants to be called a table?

This is a reputable channel and I normally trust the material here. But this install has so many mistakes, as others have pointed out, that I don’t know where to start. Please remove this video before it does more harm.

That roof is not even Stip y harnest 😂 pussycats

Loving the comments about poor installation - plenty of bloopers in there but the first mistake is in the video title: "Insulated chimney" - which basically means the heat from the fire is being piped straight outside and not being allowed to heat the house !
