Poly pipe in B vent

in THE MAIN WALL
I am looking at a project that involves using 2-4" condensing boiler flues in an existing 14" B vent.
We would like to be able to sleeve the 60' vertical pipe without having to cut into the pipe to provide support. I have seen products designed for smaller single pipe applications.
I am wondering what is available for this larger application.

    We used this product on a commercial project last fall. We lined a 50' masonry chimney with (2) 4" PPS flexible liners.

    Thanks Dan,
    I like how that came out.
    I am concerned that the 2 round pipes within the bigger pipes will want to move around.I am also wondering how the code authorities will rule on it.
    What do you think of this detail?
    It would only be anchored hard at the bottom, the rest could go up and down with ease. This would be using hard pipe.

    The Centrotherm kit has spacers that keep the flexible PPS centered in the existing flue.

    I too was concerned with the inspectors. I had drawings prepared by Centrotherm as well as the boiler manufacturer. It was not an issue as the inspector approved the installation.
