A base Tee connector far connecting, for example, an exhaust pipe to a chimney liner, includes a section of cylindrical pipe made of sheet metal. The base Tee connector includes an open top end adapted for connection with the chimney liner, and an open bottom. A portion of the sheet metal of the cylindrical pipe is deformed and thereby defines a flat open side end adapted for connection with an exhaust pipe. The flat open side end defines a plane substantially tangential to the section of the cylindrical pipe such that a horizontal section of a conventional base Tee connector is significantly shortened while the flat open side end feature of the conventional base Tee connector is retained. Thus, the base Tee connector of the present invention can pass relatively easily through a chimney passage, and it is also relatively easy to connect with an exhaust pipe within a limited space.
