I don't see the wording you mention in my 2003 IRC, is there a change in the 2006 Jerry?

Yes, that is the difference and that is why we need to specify year of the code reference - this is from the 2006 IRC.
- R1005.1 Listing.

Factory-built chimneys shall be listed and labeled and shall be installed and terminated in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

The 2006 has a completely different R1005.1 than the 2003 IRC has.

I say "potatoes" and you say "tomatoes", and everyone looks at as like we must be crazy.

R1005.1 in 2003 is talking about "tomatoes" and R1005.1 in 2006 is talking about "potatoes".
