Install question

[john84]

I am planning to install my new stove this weekend it will be rear vented into my fireplace.

My question is should I use a basic single wall Tee or double wall?

Thanks

If you are attaching the tee to a single-wall SS liner, then you will need a single-wall tee.

Well that makes sense, should have thought about it more before I asked the question.

For a liner connection you'll want a tee with a clamp on top.

That tee looks nice but the 10 inch snout will push the stove out to fair for my install.

The snout can be trimmed.

Is there any benefit to using that Tee instead of a basic single wall black tee? I don't mind spending the extra money I would like it done right.

Thanks

you will never have to replace it and it will be connected correctly. If you use a blak pipe tee you will need an appliance adapter the nthe tee which is just one more connection that could fail. The fewer connections the better

Thank you guys for the great info, I have a tee on order.
One more question my new stove(jotul f55) is a bit taller then my old stove which was a VC encore. My question is there is probably 3-4 inches of slack in the SS liner is it ok to leave that or should I cut it.

Thanks

You'll want the horizontal section to be pitched slightly uphill toward the chimney. Trim the liner if necessary.
