i have a hearthstone heritage middle of my house go into a feildstone chiminey 4 inch liner 22 ft how would I install one and how far of a run can I do with the flex pipe it would be about 16 foot with 3 90 is that to much of a run thanks
 
You could run your OAK into the same chimney as the liner and then drill some holes through the side of the chimney above the roof. You then would only need enough flex to reach inside the chimney a couple of inches. My chimney is on the outside and I just drilled a bunch of holes into the clean out door.

I saw this posted here awhile back. Looks like a good option for inserts that are vented using an existing chimney: (broken link removed to http://www.duravent.com/docs/product/PVP_PrairieCap%20and%20Increaser_W.pdf)

I might go this route down the road. I'd like some more detailed information first; how it's hooked up ect.
