I am planning on buying a Harman P43 and doing a straight shot out. This will be a corner install. My plan is to use a 45 degree elbow then a 36" straight piece, which will pass through the thimble then a 90 degree T section, followed by 5 ft straight section. Any suggestions on this approach?


Also, on the outside of the house, how close can the stove pipe be to the side of the house?

One final question, I am looking to buy a simpson duravent T section plus 5ft straight piece (black in color) for $40. Good deal or not? I was going to use the black section outside the house. Can this be done or is the black stovepipe only meant for inside?
 
All pipe should be pellet rated....Simpson is a good brand...I would go a bit taller than 5'....maybe 7 or 8...then 90 degree to a Simpson vent cap...mine is only about 3" off the vinyle siding...Simpson vent pipe has a lable on it with clearances...

You'll need a stove starter section first, & a 90 at the top with either a 45 or a horizontal cap to finish it off...
You have to terminate a MINIMUM of 12" away from the building

3"...

Not sure on the price, but, for the most part, the black is meant to be used INSIDE but you can use it outside if you want...
See if you can get the galvanized...It may be cheaper & you can paint it if ya want...

Seems to be OK...EVL will be around 12, so that's fine. As Daksy mentioned, don't forget the appliance adapter to go between the stove & the pipe.

If you want to get a good idea on stove pipe prices, go to www.dynamitebuys.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=45 They have good prices.

Also, forum member "Kinsman Stoves" will give you good prices too, and is a great person to deal with...ask for Eric. www.kinsmanstoves.com

It's actually called a"stove starter" by some manufacturers.
It's the first piece of vent pipe to go on the unit..
They're about 3-4" long...

Duravent calls it the appliance adapter.
 
thanks. after the appliance adaptor and 45 degree elbow, not real sure on how much straight pipe I will need. Thinking 36".
 
Whatever you do, save yourself some frustration and avoid buying the Duravent PelletVent. Otherwise you will be siliconing, taping, siliconing, taping, etc. until you are blue in the face and are likely to still have some leaks. The more inside seams you have the more likely you will have a leak. Duravent themselves will admit it is old pipe designed for pre-2000 year stoves with lower CFM exhaust blowers.

The Duravent PelletVent Pro is better, and the Excel pipe so good it will be the last and only pipe you will have to buy for the stove lifespan. Can't speak to the Selkirk.

I have personally used the Excel on my Jamestown install, have recently cleaned the pipe and am still impressed with the results. I am likely going to have to take a bath on all the Durvant pipe I could never get working on my Englander basement install, despite much help from Duravent and Englander's customer support. I finally bit the financial bullet and switched to Excel for it to work, and I couldn't be happier.
