Question
Somebody gave me some metal chimney, similar to selkirk but the wall is thinner, he removed it from his house. I wonder if it would be up to code for my cottage woodstove.
warnock hersey 7 inch inside diameter
model hi temp 3103
tested to ul-103 ht
I live in nova scotia
thanks

Answer
Hello Mark, I would never use used pipe. is that pipe rated for wood? Is the pipe a 7" to match the wood stove? do you have enough you can not mix different pipes you  must use every part including their cap, supports and bast tee.
this set up may not be safe even if every thing is right. get new pipe it is much safer.
