Rose,
Going from a 5" exhaust to a 6" vent is OK, but going the other way is
dangerous and
illegal. Your heater was made to vent through a 6" or larger vent for
efficiency and
safety, that is , 6" will allow all combustion gases to escape. If it's a
propane heater,
check with the propane dealer in your area for options. Likewise, local gas
company if
natural gas fired.
People who sell vent pipe should carry an adapter for 5-6". I've bought one
to go from a
5" outlet to a 6" liner on a wood stove. But, be sure you can safely do this
before
going from 6 to 5.
