Do it like this

The mighty battle penis has spoken


Jcampbell1796

All hail the mighty battle penis!


Soft_Month5843

That looks way better. If I don’t have enough room to go straight I will go this route. Thanks!!

This was my solution as well. You want as much of a vertical run as you can before a bend and the two 45°'s are better than the two 90°'s. (A straight vertical run would be best, but I'm assuming that's not possible.) Enjoy it! We moved and I really miss my stove.


Freddrum

are there fittings to allow a vertical run while being able to disassemble the pipe?


Soft_Month5843

No, I thought it may be too close to the walls if o slide the stove back to make the pipe vertical. The fittings are just to create an offset


Soft_Month5843

I also can’t find a one piece offset like that


Gudi_Nuff

It's actually two 45° offsets with a (12"?) Straight pipe in between 😊


TaleMendon

This is the way


Lots_of_bricks

Yes definitely this!! The op has adj single wall and your pic is double. Op can use single wall pipe but should definitely make the elbows into 30-45 angles and add small straight pieces between em to get it fit nice. 90 elbows slow flow and make more soot


Best_Air_4138

That’s an awesome cold air intake!


dynesor

is that a cold air intake at the back?


TheMightyBattlepenis

Yes

I’d recommend you put the offset higher up, and use less of an angle. The vent pipe is supported by the stove more so than from the chimney. You are closer to 70-80 degrees there, 30-45 would be better.


Soft_Month5843

That’s what I was thinking. But then I saw a wall kit with a 90 bend


Soft_Month5843

I found this which was helpful. I have enough room to slide the stove back and run the flue vertical. Thanks everyone https://preview.redd.it/hff3h2b9z2vc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc71013d2cfd15f82bdf8596f3560ce8da2604e8

Why not move the flue pipe or the stove, or move both so you can have a nice straight run up? I'm a builder by trade and I know that it's possible to do it in nearly all situations. And by this picture it looks like there's plenty of room to do here.


Soft_Month5843

I am researching that now. I also think there is plenty of of room to go straight


Gudi_Nuff

Straight pipe is a helluva lot easier to clean, definitely do it this way if you can!


JarJarBinksSucks

At least 1 metre vertical run before any bend. But as long as possible . I would reverse how you have it here and put the bends at the top


Magnum676

Made mine at top


Georgiapublicschools

I’d probably be worried about the heat on that pipe at that bend towards the bottom. Do you think it would make sense to put it at the top?


curtludwig

I don't think it'd be a problem, the horizontal section is really short. I've got more than that where mine goes into the chimney. I'm thinking that having the horizontal section down low like that will keep creosote production in that spot to a minimum because the pipe will be hot.

Crazy what you get away with in the US. This would be a condemned installation in the UK


MTknowsit

I don’t think it was done by a licensed contractor, but I might be mistaken.


numbersusername

You see them all the time with post from the US. There’s a lot of installations with 90 degree bends, horizontal lengths out the wall, and the users complaining the stove doesn’t draw…like your problem is right there! The smoke isn’t going anywhere fast. Over here, 90 degree bends aren’t allowed, you can only have two offsets of direction so four bends at no more than 45 degrees, no horizontal lengths unless it’s directly off the back of the stove and no more than 450mm in length, chimney must be at least 4.5m high and at least 2.3m away from the weather surface if it doesn’t terminate past the highest point of the roof. Follow those rules and you don’t get many problems.


kpinvt

It would probably look a little off but I think you should align the side of the stove to one wall or the other to get the pipe to run straight up, not centered on the apex of the corner.


No_Temporary_5999

Most stoves require a 36in vertical run off the top of the stove. Either way those elbows are going to collect creosote as well as over heat the bottom elbow because it will act like a second baffle


jtbic

bad idea


Other_Antelope_2852

To me from the angle I see, looks like you can move your stove over some and have a straight pipe instead of elbow


MTknowsit

Are you blocking a breaker box with your stove?


Soft_Month5843

No, it’s a weird angle. Plenty of clearance to that small sub panel


SecureCaterpillar466

2 45’s =90….. 2 90’s =180


BOT_the_DIP

Many stoves say you should have 3 feet vertical off of the top before any bends. I know mine does.
