Adapters for stove pipes

[Grapefarmeral]

I recently purchased a very nice Grandpa Bear stove with most of the old insulated 8" galvanized stove pipe. I need a 1' extension from the T to the inside of my shop. I purchased a new 8" SS section and lo and behold they do not fit. Is there an adapter made to go from the old galvanized to the new SS? Thanks

Do you know for sure they are the same brand and model?

No. I have enough pipe (old Galvanized) that came with the stove, except I need a 1' piece to go through the thimble and I cant find anything new that fits. The outer diameter of the new is about 5/16" smaller (all around) than the old ..both are 8" IS diameter

different brands of pipe don't usually match up they're not universal. is there a sticker anywhere on the pipe you have that says the manufacturer and model?

You need to get the same pipe or it will never work

I've hassled with this type of problem for a long time. I believe I am accurate in saying I've only really found a good solution once or perhaps twice. Rest of the time, I ended up having to junk one or the other pipe or adaptor or fitting and buy all the same brand. As others have pointed out, the various brands of pipe usually cannot be mixed.

These days, I just buy everything I need all one brand from the start. Likewise, I've been given various old pipes and parts free and, again, usually end up having to give up, buy new, and get on with it. I have spent more time trying to avoid buying something than I care to think about.

Can you post a picture of the pipe connection and the rain cap. Maybe someone will recognize it.

Thanks.

What I did was to machine an adapter to go from one pipe to the other. Just to be safe it was sealed with furnace cement and covered with a metal band. Now on to making a rain cap..

Never thought to take a photo of the machined adapter(see other post). Since it was about 20 degrees in the shop completion was more important than photos... If anyone wants to see the rain cap when it's done I can do that..

Is your connector properly insulated to protect your house?
