What is a good black high temp silicone sealant that you might have used? Going to use it to seal 3 inch Tee adapter with cleanout to my pellet stove. My 4 inch vent showed up today

My opinion ONLY.
If you ever plan on taking that joint apart, I would use the clear silicone tape.
It is self sealing, and you can take it off easily. Available at HD..
Good luck taking it apart if you silicone the joint...

My opinion as well. Only sealed joints in my setup is the stove to vent pipe joint. Everything else is nekkid... The stove to vent pipe length extends through the wall thimble in one piece to the Cleanout Tee. Everything just relies on the twist lock outside so I can take it apart to clean it.
I have the high temp silicone tape in black. Would that really work and take that kind of heat right off the stove like that? Ive seen mentioned on here before by others about using to wrap joints but never right there where venting starts. Just curious because that would make it a lot easier to take off if ever need be.
High temp non-adhesive sealant. I use it on any nongasketed joint in a pellet vent system that may need to be disassembled.
You should be putting an appliance adapter that would then connect to your T....I’ve siliconed the appliance adapter onto the tailpipe of the stoves I’ve done...pretty sure it’s safer too

Yeah that is true.
But I would feel bad,
if I thought he would use something that he may regret later,
and did not mention it....

I didnt get the appliance adapter just the 3 inch Tee to 4 inch vent. Maybe this milpac should be an option?
Then should i return the piece i got and get the 3 inch to 4 inch appliance adaptor and the get the 4 in Tee with clean out?
I don't know anything about the setup so I really can't advise on layout of the venting system. But an appliance adapter is nessecary
WOW, that beats red RTV hands down for elasticity and maximum temperature I just ordered a tube for my own use and will give it a try on my outside venting when I reassemble it in the fall.
Thank you young man....
You can thank the old guy I learned from for that one.WOW, that beats red RTV hands down for elasticity and maximum temperature I just ordered a tube for my own use and will give it a try on my outside venting when I reassemble it in the fall.
