I have a Lopi Freedom Bay with a 6" diameter, fifteen degree angled elbow, that attaches to a 4' long section of SS flex flue. Then the flex flue attaches to a 5' long solid piece of 6" SS flue that has 4' long slip joint piece that exits out the sealed plate at the top of the chimney.
When the crimped end of the elbow is pushed down into the insert's collar, it was notched out for the damper rod. There is a light intake whistle, but nothing that seems to be a problem. Should this connection be sealed all the way around the and a dab put over any gap between the elbow's notched out space and the sliding damper rod?
What product would be used that takes that extreme temp as well as the expansion and contraction?
Thanks,
Bill
