Flue Pipe Horizontal?

How much smoke pipe to the future chimney...
You have enough vertical for your run to the future chimney...

The basement is about 8'8" so I will have about 7 1/2' vertical from boiler exhaust breech then around 6' of horizontal to the power vent. When I install the chimney it will be 4' away from the power vent location due to the power vent has to be a minimum of 4' from a corner. The chimney will be in that corner I speak of.

Make sure yours is setup for easy cleaning.

I guess it would not be that hard to put a little rise in my run. I could probably get 2' of rise over that 6' span twisting some 90's? I think that would help the cause? I would like to add a couple cleanout TEE's but I am a little apprehensive due to the draft issues I ran into last season. Each TEE is the equivalent of adding 50' of flue pipe vs 14' with each 90. I have to keep my flue run as short as possible to maximize output of this boiler. I cannot pull a strong enough draft with the PV to get maximum output from this boiler so I just set it as best as I can to maintain recommended over fire draft. I feel my boiler performance will increase when I install a chimney?

Where did you get your numbers for Tee's and 90's?

I got these out of Leisure Line's manual for their power vents. Here is a pic of the chart.....I have the 8"

Good point on the impact of a T on draft. You may want to use a couple 45's instead of a 90 if your draft is that marginal.

That's a great idea, I think I will have the room to do it.

FIFTY feet equivalent for a tee in a stovepipe

That would mean each of us with a baro.... ???

So my 4' vertical with about 5' horizontal before reaching my masonary chimney, with Tee at the first elbow for a cleanout and a baro tee above that would be about 827 feet of horizontal and only 30ft of vertical? LOL.

Something sounds amiss?

S, you're WAY over-thinkin this--numbers huh--kinda like polls

Inches, not feet.

That makes a lot more sense. But what does that really mean? If you add a Tee in a horizontal run, does it now require an extra 1.25" of rise over the run? (Assuming 1/4" rise per foot of run and rounding to 4' per tee)

HA! Horizontal ... I could only dream of that ...

Yep, that Jon, would be just doin it compared to overthinkin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Works well don't it?

Not seeing any screws in that stovepipe SMITTY.

He was just makin sure everything fit right CS. See the screw driver on top of the stove?

Well I guess havin' 2 90's on my proposed setup will work...
If he can get away with that...
Smitty does have that old timey chimney with some height goin for him...
