I have a Vermont Casting direct vent fireplace model 36BDVTRP insert with 7" outside pipe diameter and 4" interior pipe diameter. I need 1 90 elbow and enough pipe to go through a 8" combustible wall 30" away from the center of the pipe with everything needed including outside exhaust diverter. Can you help me?

Answer:
I will most certainly be able to get a quote together for you. Vermont Castings products are able to utilize both Simpson Duravent and Monessen products, which we carry both of.
What is the material on the outside wall this piping will be passing through? Also, will the termination be located in a particularly windy location? Please advise at your convenience.By Dave from Niskayuna, NY on March 26, 2012
I installed a new gas fireplace in my basement and need vent pipe. The fireplace vents out of the top and has a 6 5/8" outer pipe and a 4" inner pipe. The pipe will exit the basement through a hole in the foundation, which is 13' away from the fireplace horizontally, and the vertical change is approximately 51". The manual says that I should not exceed 14' horizontally with one 90 degree elbow allowed. Assuming I come out of the top of the fireplace with a 45 degree elbow (which adds only 1.5'), I'm only exceeding the max recommended run by 1/2 of a foot. Finally, the pipe will exit the foundation under a "bump-out" that added a foot to the size of our dining room above, so I need to consider how best to terminate.

Answer:
I will be happy to get a list of components together for you, along with pricing.
Regarding the termination, I am assuming the bump out of the dining room overhangs the grade at the side of the house? If so, how much distance is there from the grade to the bottom of the bump out? This will determine exactly how the unit can be terminated.
