A few days ago I purchased a direct connect kit (4ft (6 inch) Round to Oval) from the local Hearth & Patio. After receiving about 8-10 inches of snow and plowing my driveway with the mower, I decided to put it in. I will be receiving a PE Summit insert in a day or two and wanted to get the prep. work out of the way before it arrives. Installation took about 2 hours due to most of the work going to cutting the block-off plate to size and working the hangers to hook on the inside of the damper frame. When I first placed the flex liner up the chimney thru to the first flue tile, I could already feel some suction coming from the other end. Once I installed the block-off plate with included insulation my chimney turned into a little vaccuum. After installation, I placed a piece of cardboard infront of the fireplace opening and the suction is keeping it in place. A few years down the road when I hit the lottery, I may opt. for a full liner but for now this will have to do price wise. Once the batteries charge on my digital cam. I will take come pictures.
Now its question time..![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
How does the 6 inch round adapter connect to the flue outlet of the insert?. The kit didn't come with any hardware to fasten the liner to the stove...
