Chimney Liner Question\'s

I like to do things myself but, I thought I would let a pro place a stainless liner in my chimney for a new pellet stove that is until I took a half day from work to wait for him to see what he needs to do the job didn't want a quote or nothing just the job done and he didn't show. So I'm going to do it myself but have a couple questions <ul type="square"> [*]1. Will the attached diagram work as far as the bends in the liner? [*]2. Installation guide calls for 3" for up to 15' EVL (equivalent vent length) mine is 19' EVL so it recommends 4" vent but, 4" won't fit between the existing heat tubes. Anyone see using 3" a problem or if the 4"can be ovaled to fit? [*]3. What is the blanking plate used for that needs to be fabricated to seal the firebox off from the flue with a hole only large enough for the vent to pass through? [/list]
I tried to let a local "pro" do this but........
Thanks in advance /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What software is needed to open your document? What product is this that you plan to use?

I don't like one bit, when someone says when they will show, and then do not show, nor call - ever! No apologies, no excuses, just nothing. Happens so much now it's pitiful, to say the very least. I wanted to dump the guy that said he would do my shower room for me, and even acted like he really wanted to do it. That is, until we got into the 'meeting' a schedule or even making a schedule that he would like to follow. Hopefully, after 7 weeks, next week it will happen. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The Blanking plate blocks drafts from the chimney.I think it should be made of metal.

Check with the stove man. for the size of vent pipe for the difference you have. Again I think the 3 inch may work.

I see 2 problems.

#1) You mean we have to read the instructions? I would need to find them!

#2) Then the last step is some Eng designed it? Great, there goes the planet! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

(No prob with your zip file by the way)
I'm with kenmac, I've installed 2 wood stoves, complete, and around here at least, the mfg instructions are the "code". So when the inspector came out, there was no UBC or anyother source governing the installation but the mfg. FYI, I'm not all that big on permits and have my share of bootlegs but, when it comes to wood burning appliances, if I don't have a permit for it, and it causes a house fire, my insurance won't cover it. Not sure how things are in your area. Good luck with it.

I converted your bitmap to a GIF and reposted it - less than 1% of the original size.

Next time you can just pick ".gif" from the "Save As Type" box when saving the picture in MS Paint.
