Wood burning stove, new install. 4 1/2" SIP wall. I want the flue to exit through the wall to avoid cutting the metal roofing. Can't find any info on this what-so-ever. Anyone have experience with flue installations through SIP walls? Thanks John

HAHAHAHA You're kidding me? Is it that easy? No special tasks because of the EPS foam? OK. I feel a little foolish for asking the question...

John ,I agree with Chris, But If it is steel Sips We always use a extra steel insert between Flue & panel for safety.. Ralph Locke,Deland,Fl Environmental Construction & Consulting Inc www.Flgreenbuilder.com........386-490-4599
