Jerry,
Yea I'd just wait till spring, it looks like your going to have to reroute your electric also.  Besides gravity holding the flap close, the right length of the plastic hose shoves it tight to reduce un-needed draft flow.

Ed,

Quick question.  What is the length of the tube and the ID/OD?  I went to Fleet Farm yesterday with a 6" length of chain, the same as what it on the Shaver and I "thought" I fond the correct size, but decided to verify the size when I arrived home instead of having to make another trip.  I measured the existing hose for ID/OD and I'm coming up with 5/8 od and 1/2 ID...is this correct on your end?

I'm "hoping" my furnace is idling now because when I went out earlier to throw some wood in the box,  for a first time in a very long while, the blower was not running.  Will look outside again in a bit and see if the old boy is smoking again.  The temps here today are down right cold.  "JUST" above 0 with the wind chills at about -20.  sure don't need a blower motor taking a dump on me.  I do have an extra pump, but no extra solenoid or blower.  Guess I should gather one of each up and soon.  :-(

I'll check this weekend, but maybe not needed an exact replacment just one that is ridgid ebough to help close the gate.

You can always force the fan to run by temporary increase in your aquastat.  I do that on occasion.
