I have just installed my first wood burning appliance. An Englander 28-3500 furnace. Chimney is all installed up through the roof. I went to connect the double walled pipe to the top of the furnace last week only to see that the pipe would not just hook up to the collar. I was told I needed an adaptor that would sit around the stove collar and also go inside and down into the collar. So I ordered the Selkirk DSP6SA-1 adaptor (I have all Selkirk pipes). Just got it today and it doesn't fit snuggly as I thought it would. The furnace chimney collar has an inside diameter of 6 1/8". The adaptor inside pipe that is supposed to fit down inside the collar only has an outside diam. of 5 3/4", leaving a 3/8" difference. Lots of play there. This obviously can't be right. What do I do to close up this space? How have you who have these furnaces connected the chimney to this collar? Measuring the male end of my regular DSP pipe also measures 5 3/4" O.D. so that won't match up either. Any advice would be Great. Thanks

I've never use double wall connector pipe only single wall. But many on this forum have. Hopefully they'll chime in, in case you haven't figured it out yet.

If using the adapter can you pack the gap with narrow door gasket?

Yep, works good. I used 3/8 rope gasket on mine. It will also help to use gasket cement to hold it in place so you can slide the adapter down.
Awesome Idea. Thanks. I actaully went and bought a single wall pipe connector and inserted that into the furnace flue outlet. It was a little lose so I packed around it with this Hi Temp fiber blanket that is for making gaskets and lining the inside of boilers. I like your idea better though.
