Greetings all - I'm going to purchase an NC-13 next week so I'm starting to plan the install using the existing pipework (certified sweep did inspections and gave OK).
I looked through the tutorials and couldn't find this addressed.
I'm taking out an existing Vigilant and I obviously have to use a 6 -> 8 in" increaser stovepipe add on. I'm looking at the the connections from the Vig flue top and there is a piece of stove pipe oval at the stove rising about 12 inches to the first section of stovepipe (i'm assuming single wall). there are three 22" sections connected up to the thimble at the ceiling.
Looking at how the pipe is connected, I see there are no sheet metal screws but it certainly looks like the pieces are cemented. Am I moving the stove first, and if not how do I remove the first oval to round section? Are we looking at sawing off a chunk or if only cemented is it possible I could just physically separate the pipe?
Of course, if the pipe is double wall that is what I will use.
I guess it's obvious that I'm not a home handyman type.
TIA,
Littlalex
