Never use a chimney that is smaller in diameter than the flue size of the appliance it is being connected to. An improperly sized chimney results in poor draft and excessive creosote formation. Select the type of installation by determining where your chimney will run.
Installations will vary. Determine if the installation is a through-the-roof or through-the-wall installation. Do you have a second story, or a cathedral ceiling?
Install the chimney pipe in the interior of the structure whenever possible. A cold exterior chimney will produce less draft and will generate more creosote. If at all possible, avoid offsets that restrict the natural draft. A straight vertical installation is more efficient. Now, you may look at your stove pipe setup and say, "The male ends of my pipes are pointing up and I don't have any problems and it's been working like that for years".
If it hasn't happened to leak "yet", it's only a matter of time until it does. Changing the pipe configuration will take the "yet" out of the equation and prevent it from happening entirely.
