Ok, have the stove in place and vent/oak installed. Getting ready to hook vent/oak to stove. How should I go about hooking the adaptor, to 45 elbow, to the straight length through the wall to the cleanout t. I have high heat silicone, high heat foil tape and hose clamps. Basically, for the best success for no leaks, without making it too hard to disassemble for cleaning, how should I seal the items from back of stove through the clean out t with the materials I have. Thanks all. I'm getting close :)
 
This photo shows my stove vent adaptor... use high temp silicone on the INSIDE and OUTSIDE of the connection. My Selkirk pipe didn't require any silicone or tape to achieve zero leakage but your pipe may be different.

Hi temp silicone for the appliance adapter to stove outlet w/ three sheet metal screws, all other indoor joints can be sealed w/ foil tape. Once it's through the wall, nothing else needed.....any small leaks won't matter.
