Ok , the ceiling box and chimney should be all same brand, Right?
then do I need a black pipe increaser made by selkirk to fit into ceiling box ? Or just any brand that fits ?
HDR - they should be pretty universal for stove pipe fit but going with DBL wall you may want to ask the manufacturer prior to purchase to save some headaches.
You 6x8 increaser should just slip right over your stovepipe adapter that already in place. Get a nice 22 gauge 3 piece reducer. The cheap 24 gauge ones can leak creasote through the seams. They aren't put together very well.
Don't know what U mean by 3 piece ?
Do U mean the chimney manufacturer or stove manufacturer?
Went and picked it up today, Lopi Republic 1750, it has a brick cracked and needs door gasket, other than that looks great, got the 1 year old $250 blower with it

it can be done with non matching components, but i suggest you get a metal bestos DSA or DSA-c and then use any increaser that makes a snug fit.
and i agree it is metal bestos pipe and ceiling support.
Thanks, had a talk with a stove dealer today, showed him pics and he says metal bestos also. Got answers to many other questions also ,very nice guy.
There is probably a DSA on there, inside the existing 8" pipe.
Still didn't take it apart yet ,cleaned it out real good and was getting the Lopi cleaned up and ready.
Had to look up DSA
Saw some YouTube vids from A1 the other day
