Can I put my direct vent piping in a wall?

I bought my fire LP fireplace. Im pretty handy with most things, so i'll take my time on this and Im sure ill be fine also.

I'll be framing out the new area for the fireplace in the middle of a wall. That will come out from the wall about 22". Above that (above the mantel), there will be a section that bumps out about 12" from the wall. This will hold my tv and my intention is to run the pipe inside that 12" cavity, up through the ceiling.

Do-able? Didnt see anything in Selkirk Metalbest manual about burying the pipe.

Look for the piping clearance requirements. DuraVent b-vent pipe requires 1" clearance from all combustibles. It doesn't hurt to exceed minimums if there is a lot of wiggle room.

Thanks begreen

Got it on the clearance from combustibles. Whats the scoop with enclosing the piping in a wall though? More concerned with trapping the heat and having an issue...

yes, the pipe can be enclosed.
read the installation manual of the fireplace, and the pipe makers manual for details...
