I am doing a quick rehab on a small house with an oil furnace in the basement that was ducted 3' to a typical brick chimney stack. We removed the brick chimney do to deterioration and want to properly duct the small oil furnace thru the main floor and out the roof.
Currently there is a single wall 8" duct to where the chimney was, can I extend that 8" single wall duct about 6' horizontal and about 3' up to connect with whatever pipe is recommended for running up thru a new wood studded chase on the main floor, thru the 3'-4' of attic space and out the roof?
What would be an acceptable pipe for being buried inside the wall and thru the attic? I am hearing B-Vent or Metalbestos. Which can be used and why is this such a questionable answer. Oil has been around many years.
Thx!
