Question
My question is, there is some piping available on a website that I am interested in buying to install my gas fireplace.  One of them is double insulated, dull finish metal and the other ad is shiny metal piping with a lid on one piece.  Are these okay to use to install venting for our fireplace?  I am in Canada, I can provide the pictures somehow?

Answer
Hello Toni, not sure what you are asking me, but if you have a gas fireplace and it needs a pipe (to make the chimney) then the fireplace manufacturer will tell you what pipe to use and you must use all the same pipe. read the instructions for the gas fireplace or contact he manufacturer.
