Question
I have a Martin fireplace (home was built in 1978) Where can I find the triple wall vent pipe for my fireplace? The inner pipe measures 9". All the tags on the pipe just say Martin Industries. Looking for 36" of the triple wall pipe

Answer
Hello Matt, I believe Martin is out of business, you can try your local wood stove store, and internet search after that it might be time to replace the entire fireplace and chimney system (average life span 25-30 years on most), you can not fabricate this pipe or use another as it will cause a fire.
I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep www.csia.org, (there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have, they should be able to help.
Hope this helps
James
