I am installing a pellet stove whose flue pipe will go up thru a copper roof. The flange used is galvanized and I am concerned about corrosion between copper and galvanized. I have thought about using a rubber boot as an interface between the two metals or even having someone fashion a copper flange. Any thoughts about what I should do?? Thanks. [email protected]

This is a tricky one. Even if you have something between them, rainwater would bring some elements of the galvanization in contact with the copper. I would consider either as you mentioned a copper flange or else a stainless steel flange.

The copper flange solution is a good one but expensive. There is still the problem of the connection between the flange and the pipe itself. I thought that by painting the galvanized flange and using roof tar around all the base to cover everything, the rubber gasket would work. Any thoughts on that. Thanks. Jerry
