We've decided to replace our Englander with a PE Alderlea, and all clearances and connections should be OK except for the OAK. The Englander takes a 3", the PE takes a 4". Our OAK is a 4" for about 20', and then downsizes to a 3" through the floor, the wall, and into the stove - about 10'. How much of a problem will we have using a 3" pipe for 10' of the run and then upsizing to a 4" connection to the stove? Replumbing for a 4" through joists, walls, and doors is not in the works!
 
Zero problem. Hook it up. Rick
 
It should work. I'm using a similar setup now with success.
 
I'll check when we get the stove delivered/installed, good to see others have done the same, thanks.
 
mine goes from a +200ft to 3" (open room). so I don't think the restriction will be a problem. :)
