Fitting a log burner in the next week - have all the bits ready and just going through them I find the adapter is VERY loose inside the stove pipe. The stove pipe is 125mm and the adapter is 115mm so its rattling around inside it! I would have thought it should be a snug fit, couple of self tappers and a smear of fire cement? I ve had VERY little help from the company I bought them from on- line.
I just cant see how to get a good mechanical joint between the two let alone be airtight !
It I rotate the pipe the "wrong way around" then the adapter fits snugly into the male and of the stove pipe but the female end wont fit into the collar on the stove as its got a lip on it !
I've called the local fitters but the prices are unbelievable for what's done! one wants =A3250 just for dropping the flue down the chimney - nice little earner for less than an hour's work.
