Hello house building friends :-)

We built our house in 2017 and moved in during 2018. Now, in 2023, we finally want to install and start using our wood-burning stove 🙂

We chose the Oranier Vantage Neo W+ in steel (black) – although I must say the color is more anthracite, but okay :-D

In the floor slab, I installed a 150 mm (6 inch) pipe, and the stove has a 100 mm (4 inch) outlet at the bottom.

My question is, how do I connect the 150 mm pipe to the 100 mm stove outlet? I was thinking of using an aluminum flexible duct. First, I would take the 150 mm size duct to fit onto the floor pipe and then reduce from the 150 mm aluminum flexible duct to 100 mm, which would then connect to the stove.

I haven’t been able to check this myself yet because a) the tile is still covering the pipe in the floor slab and b) the stove is still packed.

Could someone advise me on which materials I need to connect the 150 mm pipe to the 100 mm stove outlet?

Many thanks

Erik

The KG pipe definitely has a slip socket. First, insert a piece of KG pipe into the socket. Then, once you are above the finished floor level (top of finished floor), you can start working with the aluminum flexible conduit.

That’s roughly how I pictured it. So I will need to make a 150mm (6-inch) hole, but I’ll start smaller to make sure everything is correctly located :-D Thanks for the help and any suggestions.
