You did not mention you were changing sizes. A 60 gallon will have a 4" one, but a 40 gallon will be either a 3" or 3x4, but even that would use a 3" pipe.

I wanted a second opinion and this is what I got from a class A gas ticket holder...

The appliance is designed and certified to use the factory draft hood only.

If you installed the incorrect one and there was any issues with safety you could get a personal fine for breaking the law as stated in the safety act.

You could be held personally for as much as $100,000.00 and lose you gas license.

So good that you did not install.
