According to the manual, it needs 3 screws and sealant.

I did use a hose clamp and sealant on mine and I haven't had any leakage, but mine fit very snugly(Duravent Pro adapter Tee). It may vary depending on the appliance adapter you use, so the approved method is the right way.

Thanks for the reply. My concern is if I need to disconnect for a good cleaning if I use the high temp silicone can I get that apart easily?

Well, I haven't taken it apart yet, but people do break those silicone connections all the time. I think you need the silicone. Since it's just a slip fit connection and not gasketed like some stove pipe, you run the real risk of an exhaust leak if you don't seal it. I'll take a little hassle getting it apart over the CO poisoning.

Yeah I can't really argue with that. I was hoping to take it apart in the summer to paint the pipe on the interior of the house. Hopefully I can do that
