ss flex liner with 2' rigid top?

[Shari]

I need some direction please: We are planning on installing our stove with a 6" round insulated ss flex liner but we also need 2' rigid pipe on the top of the chimney because our furnace flue and current fireplace flue are right next to each other. Does anyone have any suggestions for a manufacturer who sells all the outlined components we need? Specifically, I am having trouble finding a manufacturer that has the 2' top extension as I understand it is best to stick with the same manufacturer all the way through.

Details are: interior masonry clay lined chimney on a ranch.

Hi -

I had the same issue. I ended up buying a 3' length of Class A chimney on ebay. I then bought the adapter piece and bolted it to the chimney top plate that the liner fastened to. It works great. I can take it right off in the Spring for cleaning... If you just use rigid liner sticking in the air it may gather creosote. The insulation in the Class A does help and factory caps fit.

All the best,

Mike,

Thanks for your reply. Couple of questions:

1. Am I understanding you ran the flex up through the 3' length of Class A or is your flex terminated at the chimney top plate with the 3' (with no flex inside this 3') above the chimney top plate?
2. Our flex will be 6" with insulation added: What i.d. is your 3' section?

Also, could you share where you got your flex & insulation from?

May it be easier to extend the furnace flue?
