Hi all,
So we have FINALLY gotten things mostly in order to install our stove, but I have another question. We are running our double wall duravent 8" chimney up through the second floor of our house, and it is going through a closet. I saw through searching that someone recommend using round HVAC duct to "box in" the chimney instead of a costly framed in enclosure. I loved this idea, as long as it will pass inspection. Does anyone know if something like this will pass code, or where I could find the actual verbiage of the code to interpret it myself? So far, the best I can understand is that i need 2" clearance to combustibles, and something around the chimney to prevent combustibles from contacting it. BUT, i cannot find anything offering specifics, as in if it must be framed, or if the duct will work.
Thanks
