Sideways Chimney Balloon install, Is it OK?

9x15sideways Q: Jason, When I went to install my 9x15 small Chimney Balloon I got it in there a little sideways. Is it OK the way it is, or should I remove it and install it again? It is sealing tight and no more air is comming through. - EC

A: Dear EC, The Chimney Balloon is in there a little sideways. The handle valve should be coming straight out the bottom of the balloon through the old damper opening, but if it fills the void and stops the air passage that is the most important thing. It certainly won't hurt anything to have it in the flue that way you have it. - Jason
