This just had the matal cap? Problem?
Just the copper-to-galvanized contact (dissimilar metals contact).

Noted also the chimney was 30" or so
How close was the "or so"?

Quote:
and had no cricket, however the chimney penetrated the roof only about 3 feet below the ridge between two hips. Is there enough room for a cricket?
Yes.

Noted also that this flue requires 2" clearance to combustables. Is loose fill fiberglass ok?
Nope. Needs to have an insulation collar around it to keep the insulation back that 2".
