Hi, all. Please forgive my lack of knowledge. We just had our chimney lined for a wood stove connection, and they installed everything to the 6" stainless pipe coming through the hole in the chimney (thimble I guess this is called?) We have a Drolet Escape 1200. I am at a loss as to what all I need to go from the Stove to the chimney. I have laid out the path in Sketchup (cause it's going to be a little wonky and I wanted to make sure it would work). It looks like I am going to need two 45degree elbows, and two straight pieces. One approximately 12" and one approximately 13". We are doing double wall pipe for clearance reasons. I have been shopping on line and trying to research how to do this, since I can't cut the pipe and it only comes in increments of 6" lengths. I have come across "slip connectors", but can't find a good explanation of how much length they can add to pipe. Ie. If I buy a 6" x 6" slip connector, does this add up to 6" of length? Does it add 6" or more of length? On one website, it says the 6" x 6" slip connector is 6" and has an adjustment amount of 2"-4". Does that mean it can add 2-6" of length to the pipe? Or....what does this mean? I even asked one retailer via their chat, and they simply told me to read the Ventis manual (which does not contain this information) or contact the manufacturer, but I couldn't find Ventis contact information.
Does anyone know the simplest way to extend a 12" double wall black pipe to ~13"?
Also, can someone tell me what the built in wiggle room when connecting these pipes is? Ie. If the pipe that i have calculated out at 12" needs to actually be 11.5" when I go to install is there wiggle room to make it fit somehow? Or do I need to go for a 6" pipe with something like a 12" slip connector?
Basically, I am not totally grasping how to order the parts and make sure they will fit properly.
Also, if there are part I am missing? Do I need some sort of adapter to go from the double wall pipe to the stainless pipe sticking out of our chimney? Do I need an adapter to fit the double wall pipe to the stove exhaust?
Total newbie, please help, and explain it like I don't know anything about double wall stove pipe. (picture of current chimney connection (don't mind the vegan jerky box taped over the opening, I have a large fear of bats in my house), and drawing of the planned pipe run from stove to chimney...for reference)
Thanks!
