I noticed in my manual the manufacturer states not to use double wall pipe with the VC Defiant Encore stove unless it is approved for use by the manufacturer. Do any of you know if the Duravent DVL double wall oval to round adaptor and telescoping pipe I plan to use will be UL approved?
I also am going to install this stove in a corner and have only 16" to the wall from the rear corner of the stove. The manual shows a 24" requirement even with the rear heat shields installed. I plan to use a wall shield. Any quick inexpensive and good looking solutions any of you have come up with? I am thinking about making something in a free standing unit with metal and sheet-rock with some ceramic tiles adhered with some thin-set mortar. Has anyone ever had success with the tin ceiling looking acoustical ceiling tiles used for this application? I am not sure about the fire rating for that product just an idea that popped into my head.
