OSTI ID:6948150
A method and apparatus for guiding gaseous effluents from the exit aperture of a gas producing device to a fireplace exit flue adapts to a large range of damper opening angles and sizes. The apparatus includes a damper closure plate for closing down the damper opening of the fireplace. The damper plate has an opening therein for receiving a connection assembly which connects at one end to the exit aperture of the gas producing device and at the other end passes through the damper closure plate and is secured thereto. The connection assembly, at the end passing through the damper closure plate, has a curved elongated section which can pivot at the damper plate opening to enable adjustment to the large range of opening orientations. The fireplace adapted is particularly useful in connection with wood and coal burning stoves having an airtight configuration.
