Cleaned stove and dura vent pipe yesterday now the pipe is leaking around the clean out. I been fighting this leaking pipe since I bought the stove in 06. Going to get a roll of stove tape tomorrow only then it will leak out the bottom of the clean out. I can silicone the clean out cap then won't be able to remove it later. Loosing battle I fear going to pull the stove out this summer and see if I can't stop the leak myself installing company has had no luck.

Seal it with silicone or get the new Duravent T fitting that has the rubber o-rings.

Use foil tape. In order to use tee w/ oring you have to change all the venting. Foil tape works fine and is easy to remove.
