Duraplus installation confusion

[GeoffDuke]

Hi, I bought a Duraplus through the wall kit and I'm finding the installation instructions to be vague.

I installed the thimble and, if I'm understanding this correctly, the triple-wall pipe slides in from the outside and butts to the black plate which is mounted onto the inner wall. Does that sound right? I don't understand how the single wall pipe from the stove can go through the opening in the black plate and make an adequate seal to the triple wall pipe.

I was also hoping to save some money by transitioning from the triple-wall tee on the outside to double wall black pipe for the run up the side of the building. Is that possible or am I stuck buying the very expensive triple wall pipe for the entire 15 feet?

Last, none of the material I have shows a damper between the stove and the wall. Is that not required? I thought it would be.

Yes

Double-wall stove pipe can not be used outdoors. It is strictly for within the room envelope. The chimney should be uniform in brand and type, no mixing.

That blows

Through the wall kits are fairly easy as long as you can locate suitable studs for mounting and use all the same duravent components ie: duraplus for duraplus, dura triple wall for dura triple wall, about the only thing off wise that could be mixed in the chimney system is the interior single wall black pipe from the stove collar to the thimble.
The best bet is to buy the kit from a big box store (dura plus) and buy the same class a pipe, the kit will give you the wall thimble, the collar, snap ring from single wall to class a, a small section of class a pipe meant to be mounted horizontal through the wall, a class a T, wall anchor for the T, cap for the T and a chimney cap, you would only have to buy enough sections of class a pipe to finish the chimney and single wall pipe sections with an elbow for the interior. Please make sure that any single wall pipe is a minimum 18" from any combustible materials.

I got the kit from home Depot and it's going okay except for the fact that the pipe they gave me to go through the wall is too short. I'll order the right length when I get the pipe for the run up to the roof line. I'm going to get the triple wall pipe for all of it because even though this is on a detached garage the neighbor's shop is right next to mine and I don't want to get any grief.

Double wall insulated is usually better / safer, since it’s wrapped with high temp blanket material, triple wall is just metal with air channels in between, the OD are different between the 2 so what ever fits the T supplied is what you should go with

DuraPlus triple wall has insulation between the two inner walls and then an air layer between the 2nd and 3d outer walls. It's a value line, but from the original posting, this is what has been started with, so it needs to stay with DuraPlus.

I've psychologically adjusted to throwing my money away on triple wall insulated.

 

[begreen]

It'll get the job done.

 

[GeoffDuke]

I have to say I'm kinda shocked at how expensive all of this stuff is.

 

[begreen]

Yes, it is. Prices have gone up a lot. This is infrastructure that will be handling the exhaust from a hot fire over a long period of time so it needs to be safe.

 

[GeoffDuke]

I'm guessing a lot of it is liability insurance.

 

[begreen]

Well, considering this is in a garage, that might be a moot point unless the doors are sealed and no vehicles can be in there.

Not sure what you mean.

 

[begreen]

It's against code to put a wood stove in a garage in most jurisdictions. Folks still do it, but it probably is not insurable.

 

[GeoffDuke]

No problem getting a permit for it here.

 

[stoveliker]

Yes but your insurance might not care whether a permitting authority made a mistake by approving it...
So in the off chance things do go wrong, you might not get paid out.


In Canada it's allowed if the stove is raised from the floor by a certain amount (fuel vapors stay low). I would install your stove raised therefore, if at all possible; that's safer.

It varies by jurisdiction. If the county is willing to permit and sign off on the inspection then that should cover it.

 

[GeoffDuke]

I'll do my best to keep the place from burning down so hopefully it won't matter.

 

[stoveliker]

If you're able to not keep gasoline in there I don't think it should matter anyway.

My friend is going through this right now here in canada.2 bollards in front of stove and fire box 18 in from floor in order to get insurance after a $350 wett inspection.

I don't store gasoline at all but I do work on motorcycles in the same room.

It is without question against code in Pennsylvania
