Hi
First time posting and I hope you guys can help me, as I am VERY CONFUSED.
I am going to be buying a Jotul Allagash 300.
Have the gas line all set to be hooked up to it by my plumber.
HOWEVER..
I have been getting conflicting opinions on if I need a DV vent or BV Vent and also it is confusing about them as what they really are and what is the difference.
So here is my story.
Where the gas stove pipe is going is into a separate new clay lined flue that once had a jotul wood stove hooked up to it.
I now want to go gas. SO not sure what type of vent and also for this set up to work pipe will be coming off the top vertically
for about 2 feet then elbow needed as going horizontal for just about 3 1/2 and another elbow to meet existing chimney hole opening.
Have gone to several dealers and one says I need a d/vent , another says I need a b/vent
SOme have said you can't go horizontal then vertically.Can you use an elbow and do this set up?
Third question is I have a bluestone cap on the chimney (as we had down drafts due to very tall conifers) and want to know how much height is needed around the top of the low profile pipe
Thanks Much
Polly
