Double lined flue pipes are the standard now and required by law in most places. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy your new Heatilator @ Prewitt – I’m really not sure about that space and I recommend you check with the dealer/manufacturer just to be sure.

The box is lined with firebrick; metal backing behind it. I noticed that there is a space, approx. 1/2 inch, on each side of the back portion of the brick. This back wall/portion also moves slightly when I touch it (for cleaning). Is this normal/safe? Also, the flue is a double wall pipe with stainless for the inner pipe. Any thoughts on this type of installation?We plan to use the Heatilator to burn wood this winter. Your thoughts on safety, given the above.Thanks, P. Prewitt.

Thanks, P. Prewitt.

I've never seen it done but that's not to say it can't be. I think the trick would be finding a heatilator that will fit inside the existing fireplace and meet the manufacturer's specifications for clearances. You could start by creating a drawing of the opening you have an searching for a fireplace that would fit the space. Chances are you'd have some modifications needed to make it all fit and look right. @ Kelly – Very interesting question. I’ve never seen it done but that’s not to say it can’t be.
