Making a list of what I'm going to need so i can get it on hand. Corner install, going straight out.

1x 3PVP-ADHB (the prior install had a duravent 45 directly onto the stove collar) with no RTV
will this work with normal duravent, or will it only work with the durvent "pro"? What "starter" piece should I get if using normal duravent.


Door and glass gaskets.
Door is 3/8 I think, is the glass the same? How much should I order?

Hi Temp RTV vs foil tape. Do i need to RTV inside the pipe sections as well? Manual says to seal seams on outside as well with RTV. How do you get this stuff apart if I ever needed to?

I remember seeing someone mention there is clear on another thread...cant find it now. Would prefer high temp black or clear vs red. Anyone recall seeing that?

Ash pan- its rusty and nasty. Will wiping it down with acetone then painting with a high heat paint like this work?

Also what is the trick to locating the vent cutout in the wall. Should I just place the stove, and then run a level line from the vent starter piece to locate the hole on the wall? Then once I have the hole located, then i can locate the edges of the cutout of the passthrough....all while hoping that there isnt a stud in the way in the wall.

I installed a Direct Vent gas fireplace before but that used flex duct, so vent placement didnt have to be exact.



...Thats all for now I think.
