        Not recommended, go with heavier gauge.

          You typically would need a heavier gauge for flue exhaust, check your installation instruction for specifics on material, if needed contact your local code official. This is a 30 gauge reducer, be sure it is allowed per the heater manufacturer's installation instructions.

              Answer This Question

              I would recommend finding a stainless adapter to match your chimney liner.

                        An excellent 4 inch to 3 inch Duct Adapter
                        This adapter though it is long but it needs to be when dealing with airflow. The rather smooth aerodynamic design easily fits onto the newer 4 inch outputs of bathroom fans and the standard 3" flexible duct work in your existing installation. Of course if you can easily replace the 3 inch duct with 4 inch please do so. However many installations just won't allow that to be easily done and this device is perfect. I replaced an old 50cfm fan that sounded like a P-58 taking off with a newer 1.5 Sone 200 cfm unit. The sound is very low and no issues with the installation. I've put some photos showing this adapter with the outflow duct valve from the new fan assemble - fits like it was designed for. Kind of high in price but it saved a ton of work and cost to replace the old duct.

                          Just What Was Needed
                          I bought this because my new bath fan required a 4 inch duct but my old bath fan used a 3 inch duct. Normally you want to replace the entire duct, however the area where my 3 inch duct reached the exit vent was sealing in spray foam insulation that hardens. Rather than deal with all that I opted to use this reducer. This saved a lot of time and everything worked out great.

                          Cheaply made and sizes weren’t true to specs.
