My current project is an Englander 30 install through cathedral ceiling. I will be using single wall to the adaptor. To reduce clearances I plan on using either a half round shield or 8 inch galvanized pipe. If I use the 8" my understanding is there needs to be an opening at the bottom and top for the air to flow. My concern is will that hot air be to hot leaving the top by the ceiling. How does this work on a double wall pipe, never had one in hand to see.
Also, Ive read that galvanized can release toxins. Is that a danger in this application. And can galvanized be sprayed with some hi-temp paint.
