That is ancient. Get the PVP pipe from Duravent.

I just bought the tee with clean out cap this past May.

I haven't found a T or elbow that didn't leak. I just wrap them up good with high temp, self sealing silicon tape and am done with it. The tape is cheap and is easy to take off if needed.

Picture of the clean out T on my P43. Wrapped at the angles and at the cap like it is going under a Christmas tree

I bought a new Excel Pellet vent last year and couldn't be happier. It has internal silicone seals, and just sort of slides together like legos or something and you pop a few self-tapping screws in at each joint. Not cheap, it was about $800 for the stove adapter, clean-out tee, one 45' elbow (to center the vent on my stove), 3 48" sections of vent, ceiling box, roof flashing, and the cap, but it is phenomenal stuff. You can hold your hand 1/2" off it when the stove is full bore and not feel hot. It's rated for 1" clearance to combustibles. Inside pipe is stainless, outside pipe is some kind of fancy galvanized. They are precision welded together and look fantastic. Gotta paint them though.

You probably know this, but in case you aren't aware, DuraVent makes different types of pipe. And you can't mix and match the styles.

I have two different pipe types (two stoves) and both have a bead of silicone on the interior joints.

Box store Duravent sucks. We always filled gap with silicone when assembling years ago. Then switched to Duravent pellet pro . No silicone and no leaks. I even unlock a joint and dissasemble to spin my stove around to clean it once a year and it dont leak. I would know because I burn straight corn and the exhaust smell is not pleasant smelling.
