ceiling penetration

[corkman]

hi all.getting ready to install my vf55 and i am leaning towards going thru the cathedral ceiling this time.i would love to see pics of the finished product if anyone would be kind enough to post some pics of their finished product of both the inside and roof.
i'm putting a stock list together so i can purchase all pipe from dynamite buys.please let me know if i missed anything.this will all be 4".

adapter, t, 10ft vertical pipe, cathedral support box, flashing, storm collar, vertical cap.

the vent pipe off the back of the stove is not centered.is there a secret to how it can be centered.

on a side note.i sold my meridian and the gent that bought it sent me a pic of the install.the installer went vertical off the stove and thru flat ceiling(ranch) and then thru the roof.he now as an awful looking big black box measuring 2ft by 2ft hanging about 6" down from his ceiling.
does anyone have a pic of how it should look finished on a flat ceiling.
if i can figure out how to post his pics ,i will do so.
thanks all

Hi Corkman,

I have seen pics on how to center the pipe somewhere on here. I have seen 2-45* bends and a short length of pipe,
or with a tee off the stove adpater in a rotated position (not vertical) then a 45* bend to bring the pipe to center and vertical.

My MtV AE has a top vent adapter to center it. Otherwise like Wachusett says you can usually accomplish it with 45's. I'd show ya my ceiling penetration, but its not a cathedral ceiling.

......the vent pipe off the back of the stove is not centered.is there a secret to how it can be centered........

This is how I centered mine......turn the T on an angle, and add a 45 degree elbow....should get you pretty close.

The other pic is of the rest of my install.....only difference is that I was re-using the original 8" stove pipe that was already there.

Stove was installed when I bought the house, but here's our ceiling:

I'll take a pic for you tomorrow if I get a chance of my cathedral ceiling box and roof exit.
It's pretty straight forward.

I used a plumb bob to find the center of where I wanted to mount the box.
I got lucky and missed a roof rafter.
