Buck 91 - Liner Connector / Chimney Connector

[MattStryfe]

I have a Buck 91 which I'm installing myself. 8" Rigid liner inside an existing masonry chimney.

I had a quick question about the primary connection to the stove itself though.

First, there doesn't seem to be a flange or coupler attached to the stove (out of the box). Based on my reading it looks to be an optional part. Buck calls it a 'CBN Connector'. Here is a thread which mentions it. However, according to the Buck Install manual, these are only to be used (and optional) during a ceiling install (as seen below).

I found the part, here but am wondering if I 'should' be using it or not. I don't mind the money, or waiting, I just want it done properly and there doesn't seem to be much detailed information on how to optimally connect the rigid liner to the stove. Is it really as simple as inserting a male/crimped end into the hole and putting some sealant on it?

FWIW, I also have one of these laying around but wasn't sure if it was compatible with rigid liner.

Looking for some guidance. thanks!
Matt

The liner should be attached to the insert using flue mounting clips (small L-brackets) or the optional NBC cast collar.

The Rockford chimney connector is for flex liner.

Right, so I assumed there would be L brackets or clips but there aren't... Am i blind or dumb or missing something? There aren't even pilot holes or anything to which I could mount something securely. =)

Obviously not going to use this but something like this or flue brackets that came with the stove would be nice. I'm thinking the pieces simply didnt ship with the product.

I have exactly the same model and I purchased the collar and installed my liner in to the collar. Right fit, can secure with screws and will look much better.
