Room sealed stove (Ventilation pipe)

Roundtd181

Hi guys,

I have recently started a new build and there is a stove in a sun room and a stove in the family room both that will need ventilation from the floor. What is the best way to lay the pipe to achieve the ventilation and also what diameter of pipe will be required to provide the necessary ventilation. Can i run the pipe through the sub-floor to the outside?

Thanks for any replies

Hi,

Just wondering if you got any info about this? In the same boat myself.

I installed mine yesterday . I ordered 5inch stainless steel flue pipe and 90s
Ran the pipes from the outside footpaths up under the centre of each fireplace . Most stoves for use with outdoor air kits take 100mm or 4" connections so you can reduce on to it after . A building supplier and stove shop recommend simply using plastic waven 4inch in the same method but I was worried it would not be strong enough and not comfortable ...continued

Not comfortable connecting plastic to a stove . A heating solutions company advised using flexi flue liner 4" copex to pipe in the same method. I believe you elbow it up on the outside with a cowl to prevent rain but Im going to look into having it come out the wall with a vent maybe as I don't know how it will look as a pipe sticking up . If stove is on outside wall much easier just drill straight out behind the stove .All depends on how much heat loss etc

Yes i have mine figured out. I got the brickie to leave a 110mm plastic pipe sitting at the back of the stove just at the wall with the plan to take it up underneath the stove when the time comes. I have a 150mm cavity and because i have a cavity behind the stove (between sun room and lounge) i have run the pipe through the cavity to the outside.
