Help with fireplace insert install
Hi. I am looking at a used fireplace insert in very good condition, I
have checked to make sure it fits my fireplace, but I have a question. I want to run a flue liner from the insert to the top of the chimney. But how do I pass the liner through the damper? The damper runs the width of the fireplace, about 29 inches and a flap open upwards and back. the flap is 5 1/2 inches wide. So I have to pass the liner through a 5 1/2 inch by 29 inch rectangle. Does someone make an adapter for these situations? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |
The insert you are looking at may not be appropriate for your fireplace.
Sounds like you have a real fireplace like mine. It required a zero clearance unit and 2 flexible stainless steel ducts when up the chimney.... one for exhaust and the other for intake.

I've seen lots of real fireplaces with inserts, there must be a way.
Zero clearance units are for when you dont have a real fireplace. |
