If your "add on" is a wood furnace or stove and your talking about a chimney pipe you need to go thorough the floor with a ceiling support boot then a fire shield and then class A double wall pipe and you can be 2" to combustibles.

You can not go through the floor or any joists ect with single wall pipe.

Different clearances apply to various part - the plenum - right above - is usually 6" and then it is "X' amount for the first 6 feet of duct and then 2" or so for X feet after. It should be clearly spelled out in the manual or else on the stove label.

Each model varies. Ours is 6 inches from the joists.

sorry didnt tell you much.


Its the Horz. pipe that will run from the stove to the flue, it will be about 14" away from the bottom of the joists. I was hopeing that a single wall pipe will work. Where can I find out info on it.

thanks alot
