Yea, I'll have to bite the bullet and purchase the next size down. Just hate to do it after spending a ton on the new hearth.
My current setup was used last year. I wish I could exchange it
I tore down the wall heat shield & tossed the stove board in the garage. A new flagstone hearth was built over the summer; long & wide enough to meet the wall clearance (w/o ripping a new hole in the roof).
I'm 11" over when you include the adapter & two 45 degree elbows.

Try your local craigslist. There are a lot of stoves going in right now. Price it right and it should sell quickly. If I was closer I would pick it up myself.

Chad, you can cut it. I cut my DVL down last year, kept getting stuck together so I removed what wasn't neccessary. mark where you need to cut, use a grinder with a cut-off disc, and remove the outer pipe first, then go to the inner section. A steady hand and some touch up paint and you're set. Good luck.
I may give it a try... If I screw it up, I'm out $100+ for the smaller telescopic pipe (plus what I could have sold it for on Craig's list).
I wish Simpson had an adapter to connect single wall to double wall pipe (or do they? a local dealer told said "not possible"). A single wall telescoping pipe would save allot $$; I only need reduced clearance pipe when I get close to the ceiling support box.

$75 bucks for the telescoping pipe and two 90 degree elbows (Simpson, double wall).
I'll ship to you if you want it. I don't know what it would cost to ship though. I'm thinking $5 - $7 for a large box w/ packing peanuts & bubble wrap + what ever it costs to ship it.
I work for a medical billing company (print & mail statements). Because of our volume, I can get a discount through USPS.
