I bought my Duravent Duraplus three-wall stainless pipe from Tractor Supply Company. There should be one close by to you. After LOTS of looking they were the cheapest by far.

I bought my duravent Triple wall stainless pipe and thru the wall kit at Tractor supply also. There prices were competitive and if you find it cheaper somewhere else they'll match prices. I'ts a good product.

Ditto on Tractor Supply, most in this area stock Duravent.

Your local Home Depot may be able to order Duravent in case you don't have a Tractor Supply near you, but the ones around here do not stock any.

try ebay as well.

but, i have some questions:

when you go thru the wall, how far upwards are you running that pipe?

and, how far away from the peak of the house will it be?

what are you using to anchor the piping to prevent the wind from toppling it?

are you getting a permit to do this?

Mine is 26' from the thimble to the cap.

how far away from the peak of the house will it be?

If it's runs up the center of the gable, a few feet above the peak will do. Anywhere else around the roof, 10' between the cap and the nearest part of the roof is the standard exceptable distance. Some people claim that the cap should be higher than the ridge line regardless of where the chimney comes up the house, but I don't really think that's necessary.

what are you using to anchor the piping to prevent the wind from toppling it?

They have special galvanized brackets to afix the pipe to the side of the house, eaves, etc. and a special "roof bracket" when you get above the edge of the roof.

are you getting a permit to do this?

A building permit? I'm sure some places require a permit but my town doesn't. They ask that you have the fire marshall check it out when you're done with the install but it's not really required. You should, however, notify your insurance company that you've installed a wood stove if there wasn't one in the house before. I did mine and it didn't raise my rates any. Burn your house down without letting them know you're burning a wood stove and I think you'd be out of luck with most insurance companies.

thanks, but i was throwing the questions out to the OP'ster. however, what you stated above was where i was headed. that 10' requirement seems to be the standard. since he was coming out of the side of the house, and needs to pass any overhangs, gutters, etc (if any) the pipe would have to be secured very well. also, following that 10' rule is important for the drafting of the flue.

just asking the questions for him...i'd hate to see him spend all that money and find out it either doesn't work properly, or the fire marshall/town makes him rip it all down.

Mine has a jog where it goes out and around the eave of the roof. I can take a picture later them demonstrates how it's secured if that would be helpful.

I think you should look closely at your local mechanical code requirements. Also, Simpson duravent, ICC, etc, have requirements for the use of their chimney and stove pipe.

When I did all my research I started with the system I wanted, read all their clearances then made sure it jived with the local AHJ.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think your chimney has to rise 2' higher than any portion of roof that is within 10' of the penetration. That means your final peice needs to be at least two feet higher than your peak if it's closer than 10'. Local code was the same for me so I had it easy. That 2' is in addition to the required minimum chimney height after the penetration. I think you need to brace off your chim. only if it runs higher than normal, otherwise it's not required.

hope i helped!

I jumped the gun.

Sorry I took it that you all were talkin' about roof penetrations!

Still, manufacturers have pdf instructions on all their products for different applications.

Sorry for long winded useless post! :bang:

i thought that 10' rule was in effect for any chimney...regardless if it's a roof penetration or not. i can't see an outside wall chimney ending below the peak. a cross wind would create a down draft right into it.

 

[Woodsrover]

My stove pipe comes up the side of the house and not the end. The cap is 10' (horizontaly) from the roof but not above the peak. Seems to work just fine for me. I have heard that it should extend above the peak regardless of where on the house it comes up, but I'm not sure I understand the theory.

Is that an altitude thing based on your locale? I know altitude plays a role in draft efficiency. Just curious.

Thanks for all your help. On saturday I will be putting it all up. I went to the tractor surple store and pic kit up. It was wood stove chimney kit. It was on sale for $280 and then sepcial of 25% so for little under 230. The kit is doube wall kit form simpson/dura-vent @ it through the wall kit. I still have to buy the piping going up. Thanks for everybody help. I just wish had stove run tonight it's going to be single digets.
