I think this would be better than going from adapter right into the T since the T sits so close to right side of fireplace. What do you guys think? Any other ideas? Think I'll do this sooner than later.

Nice drawing! I see no issue with this. You are using 4 inch vent pipe so the extra 45º should not cause any issue. Well just like plumbing anytime you ad a fitting, its just one more place you could get a leak. So as long as you seal it tight. You should be fine!

One question - The Pelletvent Pro instructions say that you only need high temp RTV where the adapter goes on the stove collar. It says all the sections have some sort of internal gasket with sealant already on it. Is that true?
Thanks.

Yes, But it's far from leak proof. I sealed mine both inside and out on the joints I wasn't going to take apart for maintenance. I sealed the external joint on those I was. I still got minor leaks and had to shine a bright light on them in the dark to find them. Sealed the exterior some more and added the high temp tape. No leaks but looks hideous! Next vent will be Selkirk's or ICC.

OK, maybe i need to do some research on Selkirk or ICC Excel first... thanks.

Rich, if you can find the ICC Excel I'd recommend it. I have taken mine apart many times now and it slips back together tightly using the seals (that are guaranteed for life). I have never had a leak. I have an appliance adapter that is RTV'd to the stove permanently.
It's worth a look.

I have the new pellet vent pro with the orange oring seals. Bought them last season. My biggest leak issue was the tee. I had to seal every seam on that. The appliance adapter also leaked pretty bad.
I have a basement install and its never going to be a show piece. But if I had it in my parlor? I would be really PO.
jtp10181 said:The Simpson flex adaptor will work on any flex liner as long as its the right size. When you are seeing something that twist locks in, that is the simpson biofuel 60" flex pieces which have the simpson twist locks on the end. That item does not use a flex adaptor, it has one built into it.
