What type of ventilation duct is needed to attach to the vent duct going through the wall? Doesn't seem like the typical B Vent stuff sold in box stores would attach to this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

yes B vent. Double walled vent pipe, looks like you need a 90 and a couple three footers. Beautiful copper job there.

Thanks. The standards B Vent stuff like Amerivent wouldn't attach correctly. I spoke with the HVAC guy that ran the stack coming through the wall, and he said stamdard single wall 26 gauge stuff will work and is within code, since it's in the garage.

Then go with that since it is a hell of a lot cheaper than double wall vent pipe and if within code, you're good to go.

Single wall won’t pass code anywhere around Lafayette. Coburns supply should have what you need.
