I need to replace the flange for my furnace flue.

The old oil furnace had a 6" flue and my replacement gas furnace has a
4" flue.

The reducing flange at the chimney is rusted out and when I went to Home
Depot all they had were adapters for 3" exhaust pipes.


This should be a common item but I don't seem to be able to find a
replacement.


I suppose I could just make one myself I have quite a bit of heavy duty
sheet metal.

Try a stove shop or real hardware store. Home Depot has 250,000
items, but not what you need.

Plumbing/heating supply would have it. Plumbers put in WH all the time
and have to work with vent pipes and such, plus they usually sell boilers,
etc too.

I found a nice plate that's about 3/8" thick and all I have to do is
cut a hole in it with a 4" hole saw. The piece that rusted through was
almost paper thin yet it laster over 20 years. The piece I intend to put
in should last 100 years.

LOL

actually I went back to Home Depot for some other parts and looking in
the "duct" isle again and found some 4" flanges. Since they are so thin
I bought two and doubled them up. So, they may only be good for 40 years.
