Attaching Regency I2400 fireplace insert to 6" double-wall Dura-vent liner pipe, with Simpson Extend-a-cap kit on top of brick chimney.
The bottom of the chimney is 13"x13" measured around the outer part of the brick.
Parts on hand:
Duravent Relining Slip Connector and Hanger:
Duravent Chimney Relining Flat Stove Connector ($40):
I thought I had ordered an anchor plate, but the ventingpipe.com salesman sent the above stove connector.
1. Do I really need:
6" Class A Chimney Pipe Transition Anchor Plate - 17" x 14" ($163):
2. Assuming the anchor plate is essential, is there anything I need besides the plate, slip connector/hanger, main pipe and cap? Any sealant?
3. I don't understand how the insert could be removable. Won't it tear the connection? Or is the slip-connector movable, just unscrew and push up?
Thanks loads.
EDIT: I just learned the slip connector goes at the top of the chimney, so I'm more confused how the unit could be detached for removal.
