installation of a fireplace?

A friend wants to install a wood stove, asked me to install a flue, pass through a floor and roof ventilation. What can I do to ensure combustion working properly, and also what is the best I seal the hose to the ceiling outlet. Although I am an entrepreneur, I want to make sure the chimney is in line with the code, and is not a fire hazard. I live in VA if that helps. I would greatly appreciate your comments if you have some knowledge about the work of combustion. Thank you very much for answers. Please do not write to tell me to get a professional, I have all the tools, and sure I can do in this project.

You can probably do this project, everyone must start somewhere site, just follow the rules, and must go. To follow the "rules" you should be aware of all. Wood stoves have specific requirements for installation, and go far beyond what is necessary for penetration flashing roof. I believe that VA uses the International Residential Code (I see no reason to have met so many leaders VA Construction at the last conference, I attended the ICC). Call your building or Development Department and speak inspector. For know what year have adopted the code, then buy a copy for yourself. All contractors must have a copy of the codes currently chosen areas where they work, anyway. You may already have a copy, if necessary, refer to Chapter 18 of IRC 2006, gives the other hand, there are rules. Code also establishes that smoke from the chimneys and vent connectors are listed and installed according to manufacturer installation instructions. You can also find a copy of the International Fuel Gas Code to be a useful reference to describe different ventilation requirements. It is important that all components of the manufacturer of the stove combustion where indicated in the registration information. The entire system must be approved by a wood stove. Make sure you meet the minimum distances indicated in the code See Chapter 13 IRC for this information, and that its jurisdiction has not made changes to a chapter of the applicable code. I can not stress enough problems authorization. Too little clearance from combustible materials, or focus roofs, walls, wall coverings, curtains, roof structure, roof tiles or cause fire. And he can not take too long, perhaps for the first use of the stove. We just had one last month, caused by an improperly installed wood stove in less a week after it was installed (without permission, with pieces of paving stones – since it was an antique, and without adequate shelter, non-flammable). The owner escaped (With the help of a passing police officer) with a broken knee (I could not see through the smoke), and inhalation of secondhand smoke. The insurance can not cover any damage due to poor installation, I am an expert of next week. (The estimate of the damage I saw this fire which was extinguished about 10 FD minutes after he arrived, is $ 45,000.00.) Get all the information you can from sources that you have: the manufacturer, distributor, inspector of buildings, regardless of the agency in the list of the drive (if not an advertisement for the collection and get a refund), and someone else I can find.
