I am installing an air tight stove into an existing fireplace and need to go from a 7 inch pipe to a 6 inch cast collar on the wood stove. I know that this would typically be done with a 7-6 reducer but the added length of the reducer puts the stove off the hearth...
Can i run the 7 inch pipe over the 6 collar and seal with gasket rope and high temp Sealer? I would then put a hearth extension on the floor in front of the stove for propper protection but my concern is the potential build up of creasote that may run back down the pipe and leak at the sealed junction of the pipe and collar.
Because it is so close to the stove will the gasses be hot enought to carry it through into the chimney with out much build up at that point?
I have found a pancake reducer in HVAC duct that has little added length but I can't seem to find one in rolled steel, do they make these or would it be custom?
Not sure if I am making sense with these questions but I thought if I was going to find an answer or solution, this would be the place to seek advice.
Thanks
