Venting

[Dexterallen]

Hi im new to the site and after some internet searching I still haven't found my answer so basically what I am wanting to know is I recently bought a new pellet stove and the vent just happens to be right where I have some very nice old oak base boards my question is how do I properly raise my vent from the stove so I don't have to cut that oak board when going through the wall. I have a through the wall vent kit which has the appliance adaptor a tee 5 sections of pipe and I 90 deg elbow

adapter to t to 90 should get you over the baseboard,

I would also recommend some vertical rise some where (might be essayist between the t and the 90)

Throug the wall vertical rize

Another option may be to make a nice platform. Pretty easy to do.

I had the same situation and built a raised hearth.

Tees and bends are to be avoided if possible.

how then would you ever ad vertical rise?

almost every manufacture will recommend some vertical rise in the venting to help maintain a draft in the event of a power failure

Minimized is probably a better word.

How much clearance do you need? I was an inch short of my wall thimble clearing my radiant baseboard, so I cut the bottom inch off the inside thimble.
