single wall removal

[Trey1979]

is there a trick to getting out the single wall stove pipe without going on the roof and taking the support box out are loosen it?are having to sawzall it at the stovetop adapter? the stove is to heavy to tilt. I'm swapping out for the telescope pipe for easier sweeping but really dont want to destroy the pipe since I'm giving it to my brother that's why I was thinking of sawzalling the adapter? any tricks I cant see?

Sometimes the chimney can just be lifted up if it’s a short run. As you know now, a stove should never be installed in a way that prevents you from lifting the stove pipe.

in the support box it has a connection ring that goes from single wall to the triple wall I can go on the roof and take the 2 triple wall down they just lock together but the inside want come out unless I loosen the support box

I don’t see how loosening the support box would help. The pipe should twist into an adaptor in the box. If all the screws are removed from the stovepipe it should twist right?

Single wall is so cheap, I’d just saw it off. Typically single wall doesn’t have a stovetop adaptor, is it snap lock pipe?

Looks like multiple 6" pieces on the bottom. Slice through and sacrifice the stove adapter just above the flue collar on the stove.

I would love to know how you are supposed to unsnap the starter piece of single wall from the ceiling support box. The starter piece firmly snaps up in there and unlike the older ceiling support boxes from duravent, the newer one didn’t have the 4 little cutouts to allow you to drop the lock tabs out.

I think the new one is just a slip fit, not snap in. But the single-wall adapter is different than the double-wall adapter so a new one will need to be installed. The SS DVL adapter slips in place (wider end up) and then the trim ring is screwed into place. The DVL is then attached to the adapter + trim ring. I still have the old style but I think there is a video somewhere that shows this.

It slips in. No snaps.

How this setup is looking I'd guess you would have to lower the chimney support down onto the stovepipe?????

Found the video. The OP is switching to telescoping pipe. That will make it easy.

 

[MAD MARK]

I know he is switching. Get that.

How did the current setup end up like it is though???

[Trey1979]

these 2 are the same and one should be coming out the support box..?

Yes the top slides right in. Why not put the collar on?! It helps the pipe not slide out while you drill and place the three screws below.

And it would be best to leave out all that bottom non sense unless the pipe isn't long enough. But I saw no dimensions of anything.

 

[webby3650]

One of those should have been you’re single wall adaptor that went at the top.
