Hooking stove pipe to ceiling support

[Booter]

Hi everyone

First time poster.... just bought a place and it has a chimney already installed...I am trying to figure out how to connect my stove pipe to the ceiling support and can't figure out how to do it...it is for 6 inch pipe but it won't fit and there is nowhere to even connect with screws or whatever to the ceiling support. I also bought a chimney adapter for double wall pipe but it doesn't fit either...any ideas?

I'm trying go figure out how to upload some pics but can't figure it out...

Without pics there isn't much we can tell you. Just click the attach files button

I don't recognize that support box hopefully someone comes along that will. But it looks like something is missing on the chimney side

Looks like a 8 to 6" reducer on the ceiling side, also looks like your trying to mix and match single wall and double wall pipe, thats not going to work.

Add some pics from the attic space and outdoors. That's confusing.

Thanks for your reply...can you explain an 8 to 6" reducer (excuse my ignorance)....i am only using double wall stove pipe.

That is not a 6 to 8 reducer it is the support box

Correct. It is the support box and the issue is that I can't figure out how to attach the dang pipe to it. Lol

I see screw holes in there. Can you take off the trim pieces from below to expose the stub. Somebody screwed into that stub before and they needed access from the side.

If you could find any markings to indicate the brand of chimney it would help a lot. Can you see anything on the chimney where it runs through the attic?

Looks like the ceiling box has a collar that can slide down over the pipe you are connecting, screw the pipe in and slide the collar back up. Not sure but try that..

There aren't any screw holes through it actually

It doesn't slide down unfortunately

Its a bit of a pain to get into the attic but I guess that's the only option I have left

A deeper stainless steel connector is needed, it clips into the bottom of the class A and the top of the dvl

Thanks...Would you mind posting a pic or link to what that is? Thanks a lot.

We've been waiting for the attic and outside pics! You may even find identification on some of the components in the attic.

Is the stove pipe and the chimney/support all the same brand? Is the taller black stove pipe double wall? Did you try and install it as it sits? It appears to be upside down.

Kinda looks like my setup

The double wall pictured appears oriented correctly. When there is a stove pipe adaptor hanging from the chimney support you slide the double wall up onto the stove pipe adaptor and screw it. Put the finishing band on to cover the crimped outer pipe and away you go. The setup pictured is new to me or maybe missing components?
The OP should not be hooking to it without inspecting the attic configuration and roof penetration either way. In my opinion.

It does look similar to yours...did yours have an adapter that you needed to use?

Ya I have a feeling I need an adapter and I don't know which one....the one I bought definitely doesn't work.

Chimney sits inside that up in the attic.then attach stove pipe to chimney
