I just bought a vermont castings vigilant and come to find out it is a vigilant I. This stove has an oval opening coming out of the stove and I need to find a way to get it to 8" round. The oval measures 5 7/8x 10 3/4, I can't find a pipe to do this in this size. From what I have found out with the vigilant I the size is different. Does anyone know of something I can do? I am anxious to start my stove and get warm. Any ideas would help. Maybe I just need to try and sell this and buy a different stove.

On mine that I had I just took a 8" pipe and ovalized it and it worked fine. I just but pressure on it and tested and then kept repeating until it fit properly and screwed it in place. Not sure if that is the right way to do it but it worked just fine.
I think these still may be sold for the coal stoves. 8" oval to round adapters are also available new from Simpson in DVL double wall (#8870) or in their single wall pipe DuraBlack (#1875)
Thank you for the help. We did find a piece and were able to modify it to make it fit. Hopefully today we'll find out how good we did.
I just bought this adapter. Heat-Fab 8" Stove Pipe Oval to Round Adapter
