The co-linear vent kit is for fireplace inserts or in the case of Regency (& possibly some other mfrs.), DV fireplaces, that are vented thru an existing flue. I agree though, vent your unit vertically & preserve your 100-yr-old brick wall. If you can install your DV unit in a corner, you can conceal the vertical venting with a false wall that will STILL leave you room for a mantel shelf.
The vent will pass thru a flashing on the roof with a storm collar & if installed correctly, will not leak. I'm contemplating a free standing gas stove. Enviro ascot. My chimney is high and I've been quoted about $1200 just for the pipe up the chimney. So I was wondering. My dad has a gas stove, direct vent through a wall. Outside it's got just a small amount of pipe and the cap or whatever it's called.Now I plan on putting the stove on the existing hearth, or pushing it in the fireplace a bit, depending on various factors.

This got me to thinking. Why could I not drill a hole through the back of the chimney, which would be the same as the setup my father has, but instead of through the wall, it would be through brick.I realize the drilling of a hole through the brick would be a chore, but the savings in the cost of the pipe would be good.Thanks.

Running a dryer vent through a brick or brick veneer wall can be a. One should take care when installing flexible dryer duct to not crush.
