Question
I have a Sears model 155.847202 fire place with model 8CA6 triple wall pipe. The only problem with the system is the top section is eroded at the top and needs replaced. It is no longer available on Sears Parts. Is there anything that will fit, or do I need to replace the whole chimney. If so, is there a triple wall pipe that will fit?

Answer
Hello Jim, that is called a prefab fireplace and chimney, and if you have to replace any part then it must be original parts, if they are no longer available then the hole system must be replaced, they usually have a life span of 20-25 years
sorry
I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have they should be able to help.
Hope this helps
James
