Finished my install. How did I do?

[Huggytree]

Interesting.

I ran it like you would a water heater. Since im a plumber

I had a drip of stuff on top of my wood burner.

I’ve got no idea how you would plug into the triple wall as a crimped end fits right into it but that transition piece was marked with direction of flow that was backwards. I assumed the sticker was put on wrong. Also I noticed the triple wall was backwards as you’ve said

They give no instructions on any of this. Plus duravent doesn’t answer or return calls for help.

I strongly regret not hiring a pro at this point

What should I use as a transition out of the triple wall coming out of the thimble?

IDK about the thimble connection but the single wall inside just needs to be flipped where crimps run down toward the stove.

Interesting, i did not know that you run gas vent pipe the other way?
Before reading your posts, I'd probably install it like the woodstove pipe as that what makes sense to us wood burners.

 

[Huggytree]

Took it apart. The transition piece makes more sense now.

I can flip it around

Ty for that. Idk what idk

With water heaters you vent with the flow. Idk how wood burner venting doesn’t leak some co2. I’d guess it does.

Took 3 pieces of fresh split wood home to thaw and test moisture in the morn

I obviously need to buy a roof brace now
What one is recommended.
What should I put around the bolt hole to make sure the roof doesn’t leak?

Vent is now 13’ from the center of the tee

Mine is the cheap Amazon version. I used black flashing silicone. Seems fine. I did have to modify the clamp because it was for a 6” single wall diameter pipe. Check the reviews because they all seem to have confusion on Amazon about a 6” chimney being 8”OD.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that cement board does not

A chimney doesn't leak, it sucks in. That's the (draft) engine that is running your stove.

You need to split those again at home then take the reading right away on the new fresh split.

Huggy -we are going to get you, your stove, pipes, and wood dialed in.

Then i might ask you some questions about converting an old oil burner boiler to a gas boiler.

Checked new wood. 19% moisture

Split 4 hours ago . Was in the cab of my truck and then into my house.

My neighbor brought me a pile of 3 year old oak that he uses. So I’m testing with that. He heats his big house with it and has no issues.

This one looks very solid. I like that it’s got options

Do you try to tuck the bracket under the edge of a shingle. Or just screw through the top of the shingles and pour sealant all over it ?

I put some silicone down and put the bracket on it and screwed it down, then covered the screw heads with a bit more.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet or not but the reason for the crimped ends down is so that creosote or any moisture runs down in side the pipe and doesn’t leak out of it.

As a tinknocker, it seemed counterintuitive to me as well until the creosote running was explained to me
