Tips on putting a OAK in

[chrisf]

Well I am looking at putting in two OAK kits in the house for my stoves. Both stoves are horizantel exhausts with a foot of pipe on the outside of the house how close can I put the OAK to the vent pipe on the outside. Also can someone tell me where to get the 3" OAK for my lopi lyden. The simpson OAK is only a 2" intake pipe, which will work on my old style MT.Veronon.

I use a Selkirk vent that has a built-in OAK that runs around the outside of the exhaust...so my OAK is 1/8" away from the vent!

My wall thimble came with an OAK already in it. It is pretty close to the exhaust pipe. Maybe 1/4 inch

Hello

The 3" aluminum vent piping can easily be purchased at home depot or Lowes. I just bought some 4" elbows and flex piping (Right next to the 3") to OAK up my new FHW boiler. The OAK for my pellet stove worked so well, I am doing it for the boiler !!
