SS liner to stove connection - sealant question

[JCass]

Hello all,

I have been lurking here for the past month since my wife and I decided to install a PE vista insert. Thanks for all the valuable info.

Install went very well.

Now I need to connect the SS Flex liner to the adapter and into the stove. My question is, aside from attaching with screws, I want to apply some high temp sealant as well.

What sealant will do? More specifically, what temp range? The guy I bought my stove from gave me some sealant rated up to 600 degrees. Is that adequate (i doubt it), or should I get something rated higher?

Thanks in advance. I really like these forums.

Shouldn't need to seal it, draft will suck everything up. BUT if you do want to seal it you need to use mill-pac

recommend stove gasket cement, as milpack is 1050, not rated to 2100 like your pipe

not that any sealant is needed or required.....

I had a small gap i wanted to seal in where my liner connected to the stove adapter ( it was probably ok with out it) and for a couple bucks at Menards I found furnace cement- Fireplace mortor, i filled in the gap and plugged a couple old screw holes from the old insert and it has worked great. Rated for 2000 degrees.

If you can't find Milpack furnace cement does the job nicely. Butter the inside of the adapter and the flue collar before installing the liner.

According to the MSDS, IGS makes Mill-pac. Not sure why the difference in packaging vs website. If you ask me even 1050 F is OK to use on a flue collar, used Mill-pac on mine for years.

yeah, under normal circumstance it should hold up fine, but in a 2000* chimney fire i have my doubts
