Corner install of Accentra 2, through the wall and up outside is the plan.
Have existing harman wall pass through along with 3' piece of Duravent, and a 45.

This is what I think I need please confirm- listed in order of use starting at the stove.

Appliance adapter -
or should I get AC-3012A (it wasnt clear if this would work with regular duravent or just the pro line)

Reuse 45 elbow

Unknown pipe length combine with adjustable section below to get what I need to get outside.

1ft adjustable section
AC-3012A

T W/ clean out
3pvm-t
Do a I need a T support since length is so short?

Re-use existing 3' section
Do I need to add another section for more rise?

Wall strap
3PVP-WS--is this part right?

90
3pvm-e90

Horizontal cap
3PVP-HC

How much vertical rise do I need outside?

Why are some of the parts PVP, vs PVM. I assume this is pro vs normal, but I dont see comparable non pro parts for the wall strap and horizontal cap, besides in the "horizontal kit"






The other alternative is to pick up the horizontal kit. Has more that what I think I need, but may end up being cheaper...I havnt priced out the above components individually.

Duravent horizontal kits don't give you a 45 elbow or any pipe length longer than 1 foot so corner installs usually don't work with the kits, especially if you have a wall thicker than standard 2x4 construction. Pro pipe is NOT compatible with the consumer grade stuff in the kits. Additionally, the Harman thimbles are only listed to be used with Duravent Pellet Pro venting. FYI, installing used venting is generally a bad idea, especially if one doesn't really know what they are doing.
 
Although Scott is correct in saying that the PL Venting should be used,
I've installed ALL of the Harman models with ICC Excel Pellet vent with no issues.
Your manual will tell you the minimum vertical rise required for the venting.
Usually, Harman calls for 4'.
