Hello all! I have some quesions for you guys with knowledge out there. I believe what I have is a heatilator fireplace once with circulator water pipes engineered as a grate in the bottom for hotwater. The previous owner cut out all the pipework so his pellet stove would fit. He removed the stove prior to sale. My first question is, can Anyone tell me if this is a zc heatilator. I read lots of articles here and I know zero clearance is complicated.
I want to place a top vent stove in front, and preferably (if room allows)put a 45 (or 90) to a pipe to another 45 (or 90) and tee with a cleanout hooked to a stainless liner. I just want to make sure I can do the install before buying everything and having the professional installers come to give a quote (for insurance reasons) and Say sorry bud, the heatilator and everything needs torn out! I have several pictures here which really helps.
The entire corner of the room and surrounds of the fireplace is awesome stonework with a natural artesian well fed pond built in the corner. The fireplace is metal with a firebrick bottom and brick from inside the damper up into the ceramic tile flue.
Here are some pictures of the setup on photobucket since Im on my iPhone. I can cut all the waterpipes flush and weld a plate over the holes also if that is an issue. Keep in mind I just want to run my chimney pipe into it and cut some of the damper frame lip 1/2" to fit the liner up without crushing it. The idiot who cut the water pipe grate out sure didnt help. Thanks for any help!
