Galvanised Flue Pipe?

[Guest guest]

Can anyone tell me if there would be a problem using 4" Galvanized pipe with

a wall thickness of about 4mm, for a flue pipe on a wood burning stove? I

plan to have an elbow of the top of the stove, run the pipe horizontally, or

maybe at a slight incline for about 5 feet, and then another elbow, to a

vertical pipe which extends about 12' high.

 

I am worried that maybe heat would have an adverse effect on the

galvanization, and that maybe there might be some noxious fumes. Does anyone

know about that?

 

Thanks Prabhus.
