do you silicone your black pipe connections?

i'm going through the manual for the Englander 30-nc and I want to verify the following...

"Chimney Connector Pipe The black pipe must be six inches (6”) in diameter and at least 24 gauge steel pipe. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe, as it will not withstand the extreme temperatures generated by the stove. Also, do not use single wall connector pipe as a chimney -- you must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to those listed earlier in this manual. The crimped end of your pipe should be inserted into the flue collar and, by doing this, all the pipe will be reversed. If you use this method the creosote will run back down the inside of your pipe and not out of the joints onto your stove. As a safety precaution, all joints should be sealed with high temperature silicone (AC-RTV3) and secured with sheet metal screws."


so? you put high temp silicone on all of the chimney joints? that silicone is only rated to 425 degrees?

I didn't think you needed to put ANY sealant on the single wall, just assemble with a tight fit and 3 to 4 screws per joint???

ok,,, I'm going to go WITHOUT any type of sealer, and just make sure my pipes fit snug like they should, and have 3 to 4 screws per pipe.

I'll start a post with pictures and details when I get all of the parts in and start the project....
