Hello,
New member here. I just purchased a home that has a Heat n Glo 6000XLS manufactured around 1997. It is in perfect working order.
It is currently vented horizontally with rigid pipe right to the exterior, probably an 18-24" run.
The issue I have is that it is not centered in the room; it is off by about 6". My plan was to replace the D rigid pipe with D flex pipe so I can slide the fireplace over 6". I'm not sure if there is a flex pipe available that would accommodate this fireplace. The ones that are available are 5" x 8". This is 5" x 8 5/8" according to page 7 of the install manual http://downloads.hearthnhome.com/installManuals/446_982.PDF.
Does anyone know what I can do to make this possible, while not breaking any rules and without endangering my home?
If this isn't an option, I could either:
Leave it as is and live with it.
Have someone remove and reinstall it 6" from where it currently sits (not sure if this is worth it for a 20 year old gas fireplace).
My plan is to create built in shelving around the fireplace that extends to each wall on the sides of the fireplace. So by it not being centered, throws off the symmetry of my plans.
Any help is appreciated.
