Gemstone,
Good solution. I did much the same but the discharge is out the side. Yours is no doubt safer. One would not want to stand in front of my pipe when opening the valve. After replacing...

Hi Kent,
Where to put the printer gives us lots to think about. I agree that the fireplace is desireable -- we love ours and it supplies good practical heat too.
