Several folks have stoves installed in Canada. But getting them to reply here may not happen. So, why didn't your WETT installer tell you to use 5/6" pipe which is CSA'd. If you read our manual for the stoves,
you will find that 5/6" insulated pipe is also OK to use.You just would not want to go any larger. 4" CDN made pipe is just not CSA'd but of the same exact manufacture as the larger systems. So with that in hand
I'd press your installer and see what they would say given these new options. What was their response to installing the stove to begin with separate from the insulated pipe size issue?
After you told me to contact the w.e.t.t. guys, I went to my neighbour who is certified as an installer. . . he mentioned three things. . one was being c.s.a. certified. . the second was it has to have double walled pipe. . . which I could not find. . . forgot about the third one, since the pipe issue kinda killed the idea. . .
Just for clarification, I can use 5 or 6 inch pipe on these stoves ? I am guessing thats what you mean when you refer too 5/6".. . . will have to look at the manual again. . .
Yes, 5 or 6" insulated pipe. Certainly the 6" system is CSA'd. The whole reason to go to a WETT technician is that they can install NON CSA Certified stove to a specification that makes them pass local install regulations. Perhaps not all WETT installers are aware of this detail but certainly seems to be true out here with BC WETT installers.
