connect 5 inch stove pipe

king2

Im using a 90 degree bend installing a stove and just noticed that only one end is widened into a female connector to join to another stove pipe. The other end is just plain 5 inch. Are 90 degree bends available with both ends widened for joining. Is there some kind of collar I can get to join the plain end of the 90 degree to another stove pipe?

Its ok, one end of the stove pipe is widened to go onto the plain end of the 90 degree

90 degree bends are not permitted on solid fuel
Stoves

Well for something that's "not permitted" there's a heck of a lot of dealers selling them for use with solid fuel stoves!

The reason is you can't sweep a 90 degree bend
They are not permissible in the building regs
In your case a tee should be used as the soot falls down into the tee piece and doesn't block the bend
Read the post about carbon monoxide and the situation I was at yesterday
A supplier will sell anything
But in worse case insurance companies will look to see if fitted as per regs

Are 90 degree bends permitted in wood burning stoves or do the same rules apply?

Same rules apply for all solid fuel appliances

At that rate so no one can install an upright stove in front of an existing fireplace.How else can it be done if you don't use a 90 degree bend?

2 No. 45 degree bends would be what is used.

I've already said how to install that with a tee piece so any soot and debris collects in the bottom section of the tee

Is that part in the pic what you mean by 2 45 degree bends?

Your safest bet is something similar to your picture but imagine a 45 degree tee and a 45 degree bend used together.

I'm not saying that is legal but its easy to sweep from the bottom of the 45 degree tee which obviously needs a cap on it and any soot falling down the chimney ends up in the bottom of the straight section of the tee rather than blocking the pipe.
