Hello all,
This is my first post in the wood forum as I typically roam in the pellet mill. I have recently acquired an All Nighter, "Tiny Moe" that I intend on using as supplemental heat for my basement. I have a metalbestos double wall chimney that came with the house already stubbed into the basement. Unfortunately it comes through the foundation too close to an inside wall to switch to regular single wall stove pipe right there. My question is do they make 45 degree metal bestows fittings to turn away from this inside wall? My searches seemed to turn up that these fittings are not allowed for this type of pipe. If that's the case is it possible to join a 30 and 15 degree elbow instead to achieve the same angle? Or will double walled 45's in general, no matter what fittings used to achieve them, not pass inspection? At that point I would have the wall clearance to transition to either single or even double wall black stove pipe for some added clearance protection. Appreciate any thoughts and insight.

how close is it?
 
how close is it?

The double wall chimney pipe comes through at the corner of the basement and the edge of the pipe is 3 1/2" away from the Sheetrock. The pipe is 8" od with 6" ID. My goal is to 45 away from that wall before making a pipe transition
 
would just a 30 do it?
 
just a 30 deg. elbow would probably give me the clearance. Being kiddie cornered in the room I guess I was just being a bit to anal and wanted it to point dead center to the corner of the pad. Is there a reason they don't manufacture double wall 45's? Too much flow restriction?


Skinanbones... The edge of the internal pipe, the actual flue is 4 1/2 " from Sheetrock. Seems that amount of clearance would work for the product you were referencing, but I would prefer a bit more if I could achieve it. Would probably be practically abutted to the Sheetrock.
