Hi guys. I have a Quadra Fire Classic Bay 1200 and the vent pipe isn't secured to the stove. It's just pushed tight inward, but from the outside I can spin the vent pipe and even pull it out!

I tried siliconing the entire thing but that didn't last a full year.

Would I need like a liquid gasket glue or something?

I read the entire manual and no specifics in it. I appreciate the input!

From the manual:
Rear Vent 1. Put a layer of high temp silicone on the 3 inch (76mm) exhaust outlet.
2. Slide the adapter onto the rear exhaust outlet and adjust the assembly to the appropriate position.
3. Install the vent pipe into the adapter (be sure to silicone all joints)
 
Thanks for that! I see that now in the manual too. Will do that when the parts come in 2 weeks. Thanks again
