Hello, Move into a new house last year. I have a fireplace upstairs and a wood stove in the lower.
The wood Stove is a Avalon 996 freestanding. Report date is June 14, 1990 so I am posting here.
My previous house had 8inch pipe, but this has 6. Or so I thought.
The pipe from the ceiling out the roof is newer. I had it inspected and cleaned before using.
The tech said I needed a safer hearth. It's on a custom made hearth surrounded by drywall with a coating.
I am ripping out the drywall and putting in concrete board and then using brick or tile. The heart will be wider and built with proper materials as well.
This is my chance to replace the pipe from the ceiling to the stove because it's lost a lot of black color due to scratches, has a fair amount of screw holes that are old.
I went and bought some 6 pipe and it doesn't match up. I thought okay, must be 7". Couldn't find any, but found a 6 to 7 converter. That doesn't work. So I figure I better take exact measurements. (You'd think I'd do this from step one). Anyway --- 5.5 inside and 6.5 outside. The "female" is 6". I took it with me to local stores and no one could help me. I called a wood burner store, and they wanted to see it. They are an hour away. So I figured I'd check here before making that journey.
Does anyone know what this is called and if so, where I can get it?
Thank you!
