Using Direct Vent pipe on a B-Vent stove?

Hi folks. Is it possible to use direct vent pipe on a B-vent stove?

I have an old Lopi Spirit that is B-vent (4"). I'm planning on having the venting professionally installed straight up through the ceiling and roof. However, I'm just thinking that some day I might like a newer stove and a new stove would almost certainly be direct vent. It would be nice not to have to replace all the vent pipe.

So...is there a way to convert/adapt a B-vent stove to use direct vent vent pipe?

Thanks!

Thanks for the information. This is a case of making not one, but two mistakes.

Back when we built the house in 2002, we planned on putting in a stove and got all the Simpson Duravent DV pipes we needed. But, we had a problem with the stove we bought and never got around to buying a new one. So, I have the pipe laying around.

Mistake two was buying a used Lopi Spirit in B-vent. It was cheap and really just what we wanted, even the Hunter Green we were looking for . Lopi doesn't make the Spirit anymore. I didn't know the difference between B-vent and DV at the time...you know how an education is what you get when you didn't get what you hoped for.

I did slide the midde of a DV adjustable pipe down into the stove top and it fits like a glove over the internal exhaust starter pipe (must be a real word for that). It just seems to me that all the DV pipe does is to give even greater clearance from the inner hot pipe to the outer wall pipe. To a layman, that almost seems to be an advantage. The trick would be to somehow block the cool air flow (which I actually might need because my house is very well sealed).

It just seems like it so close to being a viable option, I hate to give up on it. I also have zero tolerance for safety issues and don't want to don anything unsafe.

Thanks all. I'm not one to cling to a bad idea. I think I'l just go with the B-vent and live with it. I appreciate the information.
