I had a sweep out recently to look at installing a liner for an existing stove. I was told he wouldn’t do it as clearance between top of stove and fireplace sill wouldn’t allow room to attach adapter. There is approx 5” space. The stove has a rectantangular openin g so would need a rectangular to round adapter. Does this seem an insurmountable problem preventing an installation?
I see Rockford has an adapter which is two piece for a total of 5 1/2”. Lower would attach to stove (using self tapping screws I think) with 2nd piece having either 10 or 30 degree angle bolting to first with nuts. An appliance adapter would then go on to attach liner. Reaching into firebox between stove and sill may be too tight to work in - is this right?
His alternative was a new stove (Regency 2450) and liner for 6700 which a little more than I was wanting to put into it at this time. Liner quoted was a flexible with insulation between stainless walls. Flue is approx 13’ straight shot from top to bottom. This seems high, but with prices of everything else these days maybe not.
