I am using 6" double wall duravent duratech pipe. The adapter that goes from the stove opening to the pipe just press fits? It has corrugated interior that turns to smooth. Do I just press it down tight? It still has a very small gap (1mm or less) on the inside. Is that gonna be a problem? Any help would be appreciated. I will try to post some pics.

I can't help on the double-wall pipe, as I have single wall at the stove connection. In my case the male end of the pipe just inserts fairly snugly in the Jotul collar, and is secured by the two bolts. I ended up drilling two holes in the pipe so that the Jotul bolts would thread into the holes rather than just push against the pipe, but it's a fairly snug fit either way.

That actually helps alot! Thanks.
 
The Oslo has two holes in the side of the stove where the adapter fits in. Slide it in snug, mark with a marker and drill 2 hole in the adapter. I think Jotul says to use a 5.5 mill. I think i used a bit that was close. If there is a gap use some stove cement.
