I am running stove pipe through a drop ceiling. I have a Franklin stove with 8" pipe off it. drop ceiling has tile and 4" of insulation and about 3 ft to metal roof. I live in country I have converted a metal building into a house. The area above the drop ceiling is wide open until you get to metal roof. I need a ceiling support box that I can attached to framing of drop ceiling and extends up above insulation I would like the support box to also work as an attic shield above the insulation and drop ceiling.

Answer:
Generally, this product is designed for cathedral ceilings. A separate attic insulation shield is required when a chimney system passes through an attic as tall as yours. A better support item for your installation is our round ceiling support. This item can indeed be used in conjunction with an attic insulation shield. Please follow the below links to check out these products.

I have 2, 8" pipes that I need to put through a roof of a garage ceiling. I am looking for 2 square ceiling support boxes. Do you have something that would suit my needs here? If so, how much would that run me?
I will also need the outside triple wall pipe and I wondered if you also have that. I believe I need a 3 foot piece of that.

Answer:
The part you mention, CPF-69880, is generally the Cathedral Ceiling Support Box that we recommend to customers that need to support triple wall pipe as it passes through their ceiling. We also have several different brands of triple wall pipe available. The catch with the pipe and support boxes that we carry is that they are only recommended to be used with like components. It is not recommended to mix and match brands of piping components.By Steve from Lecanto, FL on November 14, 2011
How does 8" black stove pipe finish at the ceiling support box? Do I need special pipe or adapter?
By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on November 15, 2011
Answer:
This ceiling support box is made to receive 8" DuraBlack (single-wall) stovepipe or 8" DVL (double-wall) stovepipe. We offer both on our website. These would connect to the ceiling support box with a close clearance adaptor (http://www.efireplacestore.com/cpf-69895.html). The DuraBlack (single-wall) may also utilize a slip connector to make the connection (http://www.efireplacestore.com/cpf-69085.html).
