Excellent job Go Green. Very informative. Going to help my son install his pellet stove tomorrow. Your daughter's song while you were assembling the pipe...Priceless!!!
Just got off the phone with the installer he wanted $450 to do the work and $250/$300 for parts. I'm handy enough to do this myself and save money to boot. Great video, lots of help, after watching this it should be a snap to install. Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work.
I had a wood stove in my house, did a conversation to pellet stove and I needed a reduction pipe 6" to 3" ( no one had it) so I went to autozone and ran a 3" muffler pipe and found a reduction at big r. Cost total $25.00
I got lucky (as far as parts go, not price). I had to replace all my pellet stove piping. I went to home depot and they had shit. Lowes ended up having exactly what I needed but man... I paid 250 for all the piping. Wish I thought of that before. Wouldn't mind seeing the finished product of you could post some photos.
I had been looking at some videos on how to install my pallet stove, and so far, this is the very besst one, especially the information about the 'Super Vent' ket; maybe Lowe’s will have it cheaper. Thank you so much and give my best regards to your beautiful assistant, I am sure that when she grows up, she is going to be the best videographer in the world!!... Thank you again so very much!!...
For everyone putting these on like him without high temp sealant and flashing tape around every single fitting and elbow you are definitely going to be leaking smoke in your house. Especially if your elbows are inside!! Buy aluminum flashing high temp tape! Shine with bright flashlight during the smokey startup time!
If you take you circular saw put the blade on backwards. And it cuts like buter through siding. Aliminum, vinyl ect Aswum vid planing on installing one real soon thanks for the info
Great video man ! You just made my life 10 times easier installing my pellet stove thimble ! For years I always struggled cutting a round hole for the wall thimble not realizing I could have just cut a square and it would serve the same purpose ! 👍🏻 I don’t know why but I just never thought about it. I’ve been dreading it just thinking about putting the stove in because I use to use a recessed lighting hole saw to cut the 8” circle and I don’t have it anymore. For that reason Alone I gotta subscribe to your site ! You really fit your name “The Master Macgyver” Thank You Again !!!
@@nickbisson8243 Horrible!!! You cannot cut the siding as a square, only up to the circular diameter, like that it protects the house from getting water (moisture) into the sidings and the internal components of the house, and also protect it from the environment - caulking will never and should never be the answer.
@@nickbisson8243 If I am wrong then why did you delete my last message with the proper time stamp for your video, and the stamp to another video showing how it is properly done. Even better, you intentionally deleted my message with the thimble's instructions explaining how the wall is cut, which is only for the circular diameter, not the square perimeter. Is all good, a person refusing to recognize their own mistake is a flawed human being.
great video.thanks.installer wanted $750 just to do vent install.I will do it myself w/your helpful video.Did triangle braces pull the vent pipes towards house or did you add a couple of shims or piece of wood to make the vent pipes level. It looks like once you mount the braces it would pull the vent pipe towards the house on a slight 10 degree angle also. again thank you for the great video I will do my own vent pipe install and Save lots of money
great video, i just bought a pellet stove and i would like to run the pipes inside my family room to the ceiling then go out through the wall to the outside and up just a little is that acceptable or does it have to go out near the floor like you did then go up outside.
Can you tell me how to add or reduce by a few inches the 3" vertical piping? I am replacing a pellet stove with a new one and the roof venting pipe is a few inches to short where it enters the stove on the new stove. So, I would like to extend the vertical piping a little to meet the exhaust on the back of the stove, so how do I extend my 3" pipe? Thanks for that info...Frank
very nice and helpfull video.I guess pellet stoves are so much less work to keep going than a wood stove.I live in new york and people in the southerntier like to use quadrafire stoves ,hopefully next year i will use your video to set up my stove ,thank you
Thanks for the Video. I have a question. Do you have an opinion on a straight horizontal install? the way my house is set up, it would work better. Thanks Man
Hi Mr Green, liked your video and video recording person (she's cute!). What are your thoughts about having a fresh air intake as well? Thanks for the video and any comments.
The adapter that hooks to the pipe that goes on the stove is it suppose to lock on the stove it fits but don't seem to lock on the plastic fitting on stove? Thanks
I live in a vintage single wide mobile home. The only exterior 'wall' is metal siding. Behind that is insulation than paneling. How would I screw that square piece in? Help! It gets so cold in the winter that I freeze unless I crank up the heat and I can't afford the high bills. Any ideas?
Never put a connecting pipe joint in the wall. You used 2 pipe lengths going thru your wall. A no no! The thimble is used to keep the hot exhaust pipe from touching any flammable materials. The cavity with in the was is unprotected. Fire hazard
This is the comment i came to the comment section for, but i do not see how to place a stove in the corner and still make it out of the wall with one length of pipe, help!
@@christopherbodden506 Pipes come in longer lengths so you don’t need to have joint within the wall cavity. Don’t rely strictly on the pipe in the kit. The pipe thimble is designed for a 2x4 or 2x6 wall. The 2 pieces are designed to overlap; creating a shield from any insulation within the wall that may touch or come in close proximity with the hot pipe. In the application seen in this video, a larger 8 inch pipe should be used to bridge the gap between both sides of the thimble. The smaller 4” pipe will be house within the larger 8” pipe; protecting the exhaust pipe from debris that may fall on it within the wall cavity.
Good video. I have a question. Many people say use high heat, self-sealing silicone tape for all the connections except the trap. As of today, do you regret not doing so ? Any leaks? What about the side of your house, is there black ash stain on the side?
great video! i have a question about my installation, in my basement where i want to do the install its all cement and what im wondering is if i NEED the big square part because just above the basement is my balcony and making such large holes for fitting will be more than a challenge, and difficult to access, drill, and cut etc. im asking because when i installed both my bathroom vent as well as my dryer, all works great having a hole made big enough for just the pipe. im aware that the exhausted air is very different than either. should i use the available window to do the venting with all the right parts? once i know this it will be an easy install. thank you very much.
What are the pluses and minuses of doing this versus running pipe up thru the Chimney? I had some theories, please comment. * More tubing required for Chimney as well as more work? * Does venting out of the wall make ones siding dirtier due to smoke and ash blowback against my fiber cement siding? * When I'm over 65 and can't climb a ladder will I be forced to pay for a chimney sweep every year vs d.i.y. I'm considering a professionally installed Harman P35i though I do see a lot of seemingly cheap used craigslist pellet stoves.
peter sachs I.would not run it through a chimney that ash build up would be a problem and most stoves don't have enough air flow to push it up a big chimney hope that helps
I was told running pipping through the chimney will make you have to clean the pipe out 3-4 times a season, and also running a longer pipe is harder on the blower which will cause it to fail quicker...
Thank you for the information. I'm in Australia and bought a Snowflake. However did not have all the flue components that you showed. Just a wall kit to go directly outside.. Does this matter?
good one, getting for the winter, later i guess you will teach us the way you put the pellets in and to buy them by the skid, does it have a speed rate changer, don't know where you are but up north here they say it will be cool winter, eh
GoGreenPM i am also in ontario, k0k1h0 is my postal code, someone said we shall get some wild weather, more than last year, i have my generator ready, ha
What did you do about the wall thickness problem you mentioned. Those thimble kits are , I think, for a maximum wall thickness of 9 inches. You said your wall was around 12. Kayla did a good job as camera person btw. 👍
If you can't just buy the kit you can buy each piece that u need they come in different sizes ..so measure the length you need just remember u want a t pipe for a clean out
That is funny, he cut the entire square size of the outer support unit on the siding when all he had to do is to cut it at its circular circumference, which is at least 1/4" larger than the actual pipe that goes through the larger diameter. And by cutting the entire square size, he is guaranteed to get water and the outside environment into the sidings since caulking will never prevent it. Horrible idea.
Yeah, the guy in the video is an idiot for misinforming people. Never cut the house's exterior siding unless absolutely necessary, and a thimble is designed so only the circular circumference is cut in the siding.
There was a building off the back of this house years ago and there in a archway in that wall were the logs are if you watch my videos from year ago I show it
Mr Green, I believe you do a great technical job, and you really want to help your audience, but if you hear yourself, you use entirely too many ah's and uhms.. check your local chapter by going to www.toastmasters.org, plugging in your zipcode and attend a few meetings. They can help you become a better speaker... I started listening to you, but they became too distracting.. I understand you are not a professional speaker, but you can improve greatly... congratulations and thanks

Also tell your Daughter she did an excellent job being the “Camera Operator” 👍🏻
LOVE your little girl as a helper! Thanks for sharing!
I got quoted $1,000 for this same installation. I told him to get out of my home! $500 is overpriced but $1000 is robbery
A thing of beauty! Good job and very informative!
installing my first pellet stove this helps. I did my LP heater very similar. Thanks again.

I didn't do that, no smoke inside the house. It only smoked when I turned on for the first time to cure paint.
Never had that issue and I don’t use high temp sealant.
B vent pipe has gaskets built into the pipe joints. Don’t need tape.

The bracing is far from the wall outside, how did you manage to attach it to the wall?
Nice job. Cute kid.
Did you eventually add a fresh air intake?
Thanks for the Video. I have a question. Do you have an opinion on a straight horizontal install? the way my house is set up, it would work better. Thanks Man
How did the pipe attach to the pellet stove? Pressure fit?
straight up neat
How did you address the electrical wire that was in the middle of the hole you cut?
Thanks man..
On the thimble which part goes inside the smaller one or bigger one that overlaps the other ?
Hi Mr Green, liked your video and video recording person (she's cute!). What are your thoughts about having a fresh air intake as well? Thanks for the video and any comments.
The adapter that hooks to the pipe that goes on the stove is it suppose to lock on the stove it fits but don't seem to lock on the plastic fitting on stove? Thanks
Do you have to use the adapter?
Thanks for the video. I got the idea. Great helper as well👍
you forgot the additional thickness for the floor mat or tile or brick.You are not planning to put the stove on bare wood are you???

You realize these double wall pipes don’t get very hot , you can touch them while it’s running
Is it safe to add more pipes to extend the height? The wind blows the smoke back around my windows....
Nice Video work Jayla :) .. (well, a lil topsy turvy :) :O )
Maybe I could do it - & I'm a girl
Good video. I have a question. Many people say use high heat, self-sealing silicone tape for all the connections except the trap. As of today, do you regret not doing so ? Any leaks? What about the side of your house, is there black ash stain on the side?
I've had no leaks but it did Stan the out side a bit
ok, then I will do my install so it goes above the roof.
You think i can do this from a window? Like wood or something ??
How far away from an electrical outlet does it have to be?
great video!

Just the larger circular diameter; the guy in the video messed up his siding for nothing.
Can these be painted black with high temp paint?
As far as comments to a pad or a brick pad , is that US or state code ?
hey bud im tossed between putting a sheet metal screw to hold each straight peice of pipe cause its a little too much movement whats your thoughts?
I didn't think it needed it mine fit really tight but up to you for piece of mind maybe
you sure it don;t need another wall brace?

You w8ll have to customize your thimble.
How do you adjust the pipe length? I am putting a stove for my dad in the basement.. I boarded up a window and will drill a hole. I cant use a kit
If you can't just buy the kit you can buy each piece that u need they come in different sizes ..so measure the length you need just remember u want a t pipe for a clean out
Do you need a fresh air intake pipe to the outside?
It does help with the burning of the pellets
do you need a fresh air vent with this
Yes there should be a fresh air vent. Otherwise it's trying to suck air out of the house. Not good
WH or Wornock Hersey is the Safety Agency, not the manufacturer.
the thing going thru the wall, is the thimble.
Is it normal on first fire up of new stove for it to leak smoke in the house ?
Yes. They say it is burning the paint that was put on the unit. Mine did the same thing.
What’s the overall length of the outside pipe from to to bottom.
4 feet
Informative but dude, get a tripod.
That is funny, he cut the entire square size of the outer support unit on the siding when all he had to do is to cut it at its circular circumference, which is at least 1/4" larger than the actual pipe that goes through the larger diameter.

Warnock Hersey is a certification organization.....not the manufacturer
My first thought
Your video was helpful, up until the background noise started drowning your voice.
Should have used a hole saw the oD of the thimble not cut a square in your sheathing...
Yeah, the guy in the video is an idiot for misinforming people. Never cut the house's exterior siding unless absolutely necessary, and a thimble is designed so only the circular circumference is cut in the siding.
Never seen a log home with two-by-fours insulation and vinyl siding🤣
There was a building off the back of this house years ago and there in a archway in that wall were the logs are if you watch my videos from year ago I show it
Harnarck hersey just inspects pellet stoves. It’s not the brand
so the hole has to square not round?, I notice that everyone seems to make them round for the thimble
Every part is round ..can't fit a square tube in a round hole lol
sorry i miss read your comment yes the hole on the wall are square
i bet i could fit a square tube in a round hole !!!!
Square holes are way easier to cut.
Plus the thimble had tangs @10 inches on centre.
Still a 299.99 kit 9 years later!
oh forgot, at 1020 at your back, the tower, is it for communications
I think so it's the gad station next door

This was not really done right, no need to cut a huge square. Just a circle for the hole. That's the design idea
