Pellet stove piping question

[Deanna12062979]

I put in a new wood floor over the summer and placed a pad of brocks down to put my pellet stove on. The pipe that goes through the wall is now about 2 inches lower than the pipe attached to my stove. Is there a flexible pipe I can purchase to attach the two, or do I need to cut a new hole in the wall?

Never,ever run a pellet stove pipe horizontal run "downhill".

Move the hole up and patch the old one

Downhill meaning the pipe from the stove is higher than the pipe in the wall? Or vice versa. I live in SC and there aren't many pellet stoves here. I had it professionally installed, but they are uncommon....

"Downhill meaning the pipe from the stove is higher than the pipe in the wall?" Yes

So I had this hooked up for the past 2 years as is. Last year I had some problems. Is this not hooked up correctly? (Mind u the stove pipe fir directly into the pipe in the wall previously)

Woah....is there a clean out T anywhere in that horizontal...that’s a fire waiting to happen!

is that even double wall pellet stove pipe and a proper wall thimble?

I think it is a double wall. I see another pipe inside of it

No. I dont think it does. Would you suggest getting a whole pellet stove kit and redoing the piping? Would it be ok to put the hole in the wall above the stove so the pipes would go vertically up the house above the stairs instead of horizontally under the stairs?

Thank you guys so much for your input. I was trying to find someone to service it at the end of last winter and the company's down here dont know much about them.

i would redo it all... bring it up and get it away from the stairs.. Thats just a accident waiting to happen. If it were me i would bring it up to the top of the wall inside the house so its well above the stairs... Hard to believe that passed any type of inspection. Of course looking at those stairs they did not pass a inspection with no hand rail. Over here you would never get approval for stairs with no hand rail

I always recommend going up before going out,for 2 reasons,1- even one foot of rise helps keep smoke out of the house if power goes out,2- that way you can always replace stove with any other stove,and not have the issue you have right now. Also, the termination(end) of the pipe does not need to be very far away from the side of the house,look in your stove manual for instructions.Also consider a clean out T fitting.
