I made a new Thimble/hole opening today...

Hi All,
Well, I drilled, chipped, chopped, grinded, sanded and buffed it, but I got the *&% Darned horizontal 10" long, 6" wide section of that Freakin' Tee connector pipe through the chimney, and connected to the vertical section tee, and 15' section of flex pipe in my chimney.

Now, I have a $235- "Vertical Telescopic Kit", which is a 40" section of dual walled stove pipe, which extends up to 6+ feet, which I don't think I need.

Couldn't I use SINGLE walled black stove pipe, to connect the top of my Pacific Energy stove, into the 90* DUAL walled elbow, which connects to the above mentioned tee into the chimney liner.

Would the single walled pipe fit into the dual walled pipe?

I need the Dual walled 90* elbow, at the top, for safe clearance to the ceiling (14") away.
But I would like to use SINGLE walled pipe (two 2' sections) to get some additional heat from it.

I wouldn't mind returning that telescoping section, and get my $235- back, you know?

What's the general consensus on this, please.

Thanks!

You really can’t switch from double to single wall. You could use all single wall and just use a pipe shield on the horizontal piece protruding past the 90 a little. It’s a little unsightly, but would save you money.

Hi Webby3650,
Now there's an interesting idea!
I'll have to think about doing that.
Why doesn't single wall pipe and dual wall connect together?
They're different diameters?
- I don't know, so that's why I'm on this way cool forum.

Thanks,

Because double wall pipe is a UL listed and tested part, so you can’t officially alter it in any way. So if the instructions don’t specifically mention it, it can’t happen.

Hmmm, ok.
