Replacing fireplace insert with wood stove

[Chevelle4me]

We currently have a Pacific Energy insert installed in our stone fireplace. The liner & insert were installed about 6 years ago. We are going to replace the insert with a woodstock soapstone stove that will sit on the tile floor in front of the raised hearth. From what it appears the connection is going to be a level horizontal pipe from the back of the stove, to a 90 degree curve connecting that pipe to the flue pipe. Any tips/ advice before we do this?

Normally a cleanout tee is put on the end of the liner for connection to the stove. Measure the lintel height and verify clearance for the flue exit from the stove. For best results you will want the short horizontal connector to be pitched slightly uphill from the stove to the tee on the liner.

We have the stove already still crated up, just waiting for some young muscle to help unload it since it weighs 815#. Can you tell me how the pipes are connected such as a clamp or ? We are just wanting to make sure we have mist if what we will need as we are

Sorry...still trying to get used to this new site. We are 30 minutes from anywhere.

You will need a liner tee that has a clamp band on top and a clean out cap on bottom. These come with different length snouts. If you can't get one with a long enough snout then you will need a short piece of pipe to make up the difference. A crimping tool is handy if this is the case. If you get a long snout you may need aviation snips to trim it down.

What stove model is this for?

This thread has some pictures by @Berner that may help. He had a tall opening so he could pitch the pipe up with an elbow. An elbow probably won't be needed in your case.

With some help from some very good friends we were able to get our progressive installed and have started using it. One friend is a mechanic so we used his cherry picker to get the stove off of the trailer and into the house. And all it cost me was beer....very good trade off I think. My only other question would be how to easily clean the horizontal pipe going from the back of the stove to the tee. Thank you for your help with the install suggestions btw.
