As you will quickly see I am new to this.

I am putting a KIng wood stove in my shop, and this will be a new install through the roof. My question is the pipe that was used in it measures 6 1/8 diameter, is this considered a standard 6-inch pipe, and if not what size pipe should I buy? Also, my roof pitch is a 4/12. all the 4/12 flashings I have found online look like (bent in the middle) they are made for the roof ridge. The flashings that 0/12-6/12 Adjustable Roof Flashing doesn't look like they will work, and how would you adjust them to fit?

Thanks
 
Take some time to download installation instructions for installing a chimney for the brand you intend to purchase. It really helps to have a clear visual picture of the components in advance. You will need both Class A chimney pipe for the exterior and stove pipe for the interior. They are not the same.

You will need a chimney support box or roof mounted support. That is the right flashing. It doesn't adjust, but can accept a chimney pipe at your roof pitch. Where are you looking to buy the parts?
