ok heres my predicament i have a fireplace insert (dutchwest). the problem is i have to crush the #### out of the flex pipe to fit it up my chimney. its hard to explain how the top of the fireplace is shaped(dunno the proper name for it). where the metal flapper thing on fireplaces go to open or close it. anyway its wide and very narrow. so the pipe from the stove is 8" if i remember right so i have to crush it almost in half so i can fit it up inside the chimney. i realize this is bad and i clean the pipe 1/2 way through the winter aswell just in case. i would like a real fix to the problem as i dont wanna keep rolling the dice on my stomp the pipe method.
is there a pipe made that has a built in reducer to 4 or 5 inch? or better yet 2 4" tubes would be fantastic. or am i looking into a custom? the more i think about it i think the 2 4" pipes or 2 of the biggest i can fit would be the way to go? any thoughts?
oh and yes i did take the metal flapper thing out of the fireplace and it made little to no difference in room gained, thanks Mike
