Looked around for the heaviest 304 flex liner I could find and found Elmer's in Maine. http://www.elmerspipe.com/index.html
Pricing seems reasonable for 22 gauge 304 stainless. Right at $600 for 20' of 6", adapter, Tee and cap. Has anyone on here had any dealings with the company? Thanks.
 
Thank you, sir. And...yikes. Think I'll find another source for heavy wall. Not really what I wanted to hear, but it is what it is. Again, thanks.
 
22 ga? Are you going with rigid?
 
I had considered it but too big a PITA to negotiate the last 4 feet. The offset isn't truly bad but I can see some issues trying to preassemble the pipe and negotiating the turns. No, I've just been leaning toward the heaviest single-wall flex I can find. The 304 ss in 22 ga offered by Elmer's sure looked reasonable at just over $600 for pipe, Tee and adapter. Of course, that's out of their 2008 online catalogue so it's likely a bit higher now. I'm simply leaning toward that thickness for something that will last at least my lifetime.
 
22ga would be like semi-truck exhaust pipe. We don't hear of failures here even with much lighter gauged liners. ForeverFlex is a popular brand with professional installers. It carries a lifetime warranty.

Seems about right for me. Major overkill. I'll check that link out. Thanks again.
