Fireplace

[Jaba1974]

I have a wood burning insert in a wood framed. The pipe to vent the fireplace is glavinzed on the outside and there's another pipe on the inside am not sure if it's glavinzed or what. I need to replace the pipe/vent lines. Question what is this pipe called? We're can I find it to purchase? I'm fairly handy and feel I can do the job myself. Is it hard to install? I was quoted about 2400 to do the work. I think that's crazy.

Well first off you dont have an insert you have a zeroclearance fireplace. And the pipe you are referrring to is the chimney. You need a specific brand that your fireplace specifies. You need to find out what brand and make fireplace you have so we can figure out what chimney you need.

That's an FMI Vanguard by Desa. Looks like it takes their chimney - V48-8DM = 48" pipe, V36-8DM = 36" pipe, etc.. Looks like this site sells it.

Thank you. I call them they do sell what I need.
How hard a job is it to install? It looks like it all locks into place.

It is not all that hard it all depends on what acess you have. I also have to ask what your intentions are with the fireplace. If you want it for heat dont waste your time and money it will not be a heater for you.

No not for heat. Really just for looks. I know this fireplace really isn't to heat the house or the room. But we can't afford a good fireplace at this time.

As long as you understand it is just for ambiance then go for it that is what they are made for. I just wanted to make sure you were not expecting more than you were going to get out of it.
