Make the liner male with a crimper.

If you don't have the shown crimper, you can use long skinny needlenose pliers.

Stay out of the way
 
Dangerous post--leaves you wide open to the nut cases on the forum.

Personally, I don`t care to comment! After 35 years of marriage-I still haven`t managed to adapt. :)

My chimney liners tap is a female 6 inch pipe. So is my stoves. Anything I can do when a female and a female meet?

Heat Fab makes a flex-to-rigid adapter that should work for you WITHOUT crimping...
Heavy gage Stainless Steel & less than $20...
Part # is 4556SS...
 
hahahahaha


I like the needle nosed pliers idea. right up my alley. I'm always fabricating stuff with the wrong tools. sometimes it even works

came out looking like it was from the factory.
If you have the right size pliers, the last crimp matches up with the first and you can't tell where you started/ended. The taper on the pliers does a better job in transitioning the crimps than that hand held tool.

I've worked with the bench top tool that rolls the crimp and puts a bead above it. Nice tool to have if you do a lot.

Glad it worked out for you.
