4" vent after 2 ton

This is my Fahrenheit Endurance pellet vent after 2 ton. In my opinion, it's really not that bad. About an 1/8" on the sidewalls on the vertical and horizontal and maybe 1/4" deep in the very bottom of the horizontal section.

I was going to do the LBT. But it has been Uber cold here. So I hooked my big 6 HP Shop vac up to the bottom of the Clean out T and ran it while I ran the Lint Eater up and down twice from outside.

This is the Vertical section before and after.



And the Horizontal section before and after.



Anyone else have any good before and after pics this year? Or maybe a good LBT? Something that will rival smoke show famous LBT video?

 

I love the Lint Eater. The leaf blower is a good tool, but the Lint Eater is a great tool.

Easy to use and very functional. I use my Dewalt XRP drill on speed 3 (fast!! ) and go very slow. After going down and back twice it's very clean.

 

Anyone know if the rods are flexible enough to do a bottom up clean through an inside clean out tee where the cap is ~5" off the floor? We have 18' of pipe straight up through the roof.

I could use one of these, the pipe has been swept a few times since September but that is dependent on the weather, not according to our bags burned...

That is, when the weather "allows" him to get on the roof depending on snow/wind/icy metal roof...

The one he has been borrowing is fiberglass (?) rods. Works well from top down but not flexible enough for bottom up, our clean out tee is a few inches above the hearth inside the house. Hoping for another alternative

Thanks!

 

They are pretty flexible rods. Mine has to go past the 90° in my system and I can barely tell when it hits the 90° and starts traveling down the vertical section.

 

I don't think my vent was that clean when new.

 

I was torn between the 2 systems. I have a Soot eater for the wood stove, so I decided to go with the Lint Eater for the pellet stoves. Plus I do actually use it on the dryer vent every year and it has two 90° and two 30° offsets. It snakes it's way through there no problem.

With a straight shot up, the rods should make that bend at 5". I will do an experiment when I get home tonight to make sure.

 

That's possible, but you would want to make sure your flex shaft wasn't to long. As you could run the Lint Eater head into the spinning leaf blower.

Unless you placed something at the end of the vent? Or if your leaf blower has a guard before the impeller?

 

Can someone advise me on a Lint Eater? 4" pipe, about 18'. I looked at amazon and was quickly confused with all the different applications, kits, and manufacturers.
