Question
Hi,
I am looking for a Mark 700 pipe made by Heatalater, or something compatable for my wood stove. This origonal pipe was purchased back in the 80"s do you know of another vendor taht would have this 7" pipe. I'll take any used pipe but we need at least 4-6" of pipe.
Thanks
John

Answer
John,

I would never recommend a used section of pipe. You are required by code to use only listed high temperature pipe with your wood stove. I would recommend replacing all of the insulated class "A" pipe with new 7" inch. Several manufactures make 7" inch pipe including "Metalbestos". Good luck.
