I just got done installing a new wood stove. I had to add two 90 degree elbows in the chimney. This is the first wood stove I've ever installed. I've never seen these type of elbows where I can pivot all the joints and change the angles it's on. Well, it's all together now, but if I were to push on the bottom of the silver pipe, the chimney will move now. It's because the elbows still pivot. I tried popping a screw through the elbow on the short side hoping it would stop it from pivoting but it still pivots just as easy as ever. How do I stop it from pivoting? I'm actually wondering now if there's some kind of bonding gluish type stuff I should be using in the joints. Is that it or is there some other secret? Attached is a pic.
Also, on a side note, is it required to have 3 screws holding the single wall pipes together? It sounded like from the stove manual it is. I just put 2 in each. It was a weird ange and such close area to work in, I was having a hard time getting a third one in.
