Stove Venting Guide
Get the Right Pipe. Get It Right the First Time.
Venting your stove isn't complicated — but getting it wrong is expensive. The right pipe depends on your stove type, your ceiling, your roof, and your installation setup. This page walks you through what we carry and what we'll need to know. When you're ready, we'll put together your exact parts list.

Shop DirectVent ProHow Is Your Stove Being Installed?
Your installation type determines which components you need. Pick the one that matches your setup.
Straight Up
Pipe goes straight up from stove through ceiling, attic, and roof. Most common setup. Requires connector pipe plus a full Class A chimney system.
Up Then Out Through Wall
Pipe goes up then offsets 90° through an exterior wall. Common for corner installs or basement setups. Requires elbows and a wall thimble.
Into Existing Masonry
Connector pipe runs from stove into an existing masonry fireplace or chimney. May require a liner depending on chimney condition.
Basement Installation
Pipe has a longer run from a lower floor, often needing additional sections and sometimes an offset to clear floor joists. Measurements are different from a main floor install — give us your full run details.
Freestanding in Open Room
Stove sits away from walls with the pipe running straight up through the ceiling. Clearance requirements apply on all sides — make sure to note your stove's required clearances when reaching out.

Flue Collar Size
6" or 8" — found on your stove's spec sheet or the label on the back panel
Installation Type
Straight up through roof, offset out through wall, into existing masonry, basement run, or freestanding in open room
Type of Ceiling
Flat, cathedral, or vaulted — affects which ceiling support box and firestop you need
Type of Roof
Shingled or metal — determines which flashing kit is required
Floor-to-Ceiling Height
Measured from finished floor to ceiling surface
Attic-to-Roof Height
Distance from attic floor to the underside of the roof deck
Roof Pitch
e.g. 4/12, 6/12 — determines flashing and cap selection. Usually on your home's blueprints or ask your contractor
Roof Hole to Roof Peak Distance
Horizontal distance from where the pipe exits the roof to the roof peak — determines how much pipe you need above the roofline
