I'm not sure. A friend has had a system very much like yours, but with 3-4' lengths of class A on order for 2 weeks now at dynamitebuys. They are backed up on orders. We hope to get a ship date later today.

Think galvanized pipe will be fine on the outside for a season until the chase is built up next year?

I ordered 4'ers for my rigid chimney liner, came shrink wrapped on a pallet, each pipe in its own box. I personally would go longer lengths, less seems, easier/faster installation.
Mine had no dents, and as I said, came each pipe in its own box.

Hmm...looks like I also need a 12" section of duratech below the Tee for a clean out since the Tee needs to be above the bracket.

Not if the T goes through the bracket and you can get an end cap on it & access it. Otherwise you a 6" or 12" would help.
6" it is. Just spoke with dynamitebuys. They are out of 5', 4' and 3' pipe with a truck coming in this week to fill orders and have a little overflow. I hope I make this week!
Also think I will change to 4 - 4' sections instead of 5 - 3' sections. I get 1' more foot of length and will cost me $5 less.

I ordered an 18" since I have the same situation. It requires a 24". The 18" only protrudes 4" into the room.BeGreen said:
No biggie, I'll throw the 18" up top. I was (technically) 12" short anyway. I hope I can find a 24" locally so I can install this weekend.
Another after-thought...they sell black Dura-Tech for going through the wall since the 6" in the room will show. I'll just have to paint mine.
How deep is your wall on the inside? I suspect your T is not right up against the thimble where you are losing the space. 8" block should leave 10"-6" for after wall. So you have 4" for block to drywall depth and for coming out the outside of the T. I think the studs on my drywall are only 2" (4" just seems like too much from my memory of measuring it) sot hat leaves me 2" for the outside play.
I also have a 6" piece on order for the bottom of the T for cleanout. Worst case, I can steal that for another 6" on the thimble install.
I hope not, that will mess up the rest of my measurements...ugh..

My inside wall is 3 1/2" framing + 1/2" sheetrock. The tee has to be away from the outside wall to get my 2"+ clearance between the chimney and the outside wall. Your results may vary.

Not trying to confuse things, but I just bought Matalbestos classA pipe and they say it only needs to protrude 4.5" into the room. Just curious why the difference.

I dunno. I saw that in the Selkirk manual when I was planning to use them.
Simpson requires 6" into the room to meet the 6" min. clearance of the DVL dbl. wall interior pipe. I'm okay with it.
I originally had my stove planned at the minimum to the back wall. It would've met code but I'll sleep a little better with a couple inches on the safe side both inside and out.

I guess I don't understand this, if you measure straight in (along the class a) there is no combustable, only the thimble.
You would have to measure at least 2" out from the class a at the wall to the stove pipe for your 6" combustable distance, resulting in less than a 6" room penatration.

You are correct, Kenn, but I'm going with what's in print. I'm sure that's what my insurance company would want.

I checked my manual again just to be sure and it does say 4.5". What model of pipe is yours? Mine is Metalbestos Sure Temp.
I'm using superpro. Here is a planning guide: http://www.selkirkcorp.com/WorkArea/showcontent.aspx?id=1648
