On to that I added my 6" to 3" starter collar, which once again I sheet metal screwed and silicon-ed. My starter collar was originally a 6" cap. So I traced my pipe over it and carefully cut a 3" centered hole. I then simply inserted the 3" pipe and put a nice bead of silicone around it.
Because my chimney takes a 45 degree angle over to my stove I added two small L-shaped brackets to hold the 3" pipe into the 6" collar to support any chimney pipe weight.
I can post pics. Just say so.
All screw tips get coats of silicone before sinking them and, and you always use high temp silicone.
Wish I had known about the metal tape idea.
what is the clearance from the single wall connector to your pitched cieling??
I'd have to go back and measure but pretty sure it is more than 18 inches.
single wall pellet vent needs 6- 9" (!!i think!!) unless the manual says otherwise...
even 9" is overkill unless you have a chimney fire(very rare with pellet stoves, but i have seen a few!!)
looked pretty close in one of the pics, but it is early i just woke up
