So I removed an old Lopi wood stove from a fireplace several months ago and - despite meaning to save it - I managed to scrap the stainless steel adapter that converts the flex liner to a stove pipe. Or if I didn't scrap it, its buried in the garage somewhere and now I can't find it!

The liner is an old Trans Continental Equipment (TCE) flex liner, 6" diameter. It's not the greatest but chimney sweeps said it's in good condition and fine to keep using. I've got a new stove ready to install; it has a rear exit and will have a 6" stove pipe elbow to redirect upward. I need to get from the non-crimp end of the stove pipe to the stainless steel flex liner. The old adapter was just a very simple stainless steel ring that fit over the flex liner and screwed into the flex liner with three self-tapping screws. It then necked down to slide inside the non-crimp end of standard 6" stove pipe.

Any suggestions on where I can order one of these parts and get it pretty quickly? Are the flex liners all about the same OD, i.e. could I use one like this and have it fit: https://www.amazon.com/Copperfield-...cphy=9002451&hvtargid=pla-2269581080561&psc=1

Thanks!
 
That looks like it will work.
