Comment on Building a removable kiln vent outlet

A kiln is not a high efficiency appliance - the effluent gasses will be extremely hot. You need double walled vent (or stove) pipe and the appropriate fittings.
Honestly, this is not something to install in your domicile by yourself without the appropriate expertise. You need to hire an HVAC professional.

This is not accurate. I wasn’t going to comment except that it is the top reply and I don’t want misinformation to be spread if someone comes across this later.
The vent kit, including the hose, comes from the kiln manufacturer and is designed for this specific kiln which is intended for domestic use. I linked the kit in my post.
The vent takes in room air in addition to the kiln air and the temperature of the discharge is less than 160 F, or 71 C.
And yes, my homeowner’s insurance is aware of the kiln.
