Is this a legit connection?

This is the connection between my tee snout and my thru wall thimble. Neither were crimped, so i had to crimp the tee snout. I feel like it may have been over crimped and there may be gaps where smoke could come out.

From outside:

Does this look pretty standard? Could I use a high temp sealant for peace of mind?

Also, heres a pic of progress so far

No sealant will stay in there. In that case i would hammer those crimps flat again and you should be using rivits there instead of screws

I know that white is supposed to be the worst color for a stove but that just looks awesome. Cannot wait to see the pics when it is finished and you have a fire burning.

Why worst color? Just a pain to clean all the time? i was hoping it would just take a quick wipe down once every few days. Thanks for compliments, i'll post once its up and running, hopefully will have hard woods installed too

Black cars show every spec of dust, while silver and white cars tend to hide dust and dirt. That white stove may stay cleaner looking than a similar black stove!

I may have missed something, but was the male end going the wrong way?

Fsappo - you want the pipe to be connect in reverse so in the event you have creosote it can drip back towards the stove and hopefully get re-burned.

Right, I thought I saw female end towards the stove in one of the photos

The photo with single wall coming out of that insulflue looking thing I thought was black stove connector pipe at first glance. I think I got it now, Its liner, male into insulflue thingie coming from the liner tee

oh, performance wise, thats fine by me, i'm worried the stove is overkill in the first place. a bit less radiative heat wouldnt be the worst thing. its one of the reasons i went with pacific energy in the first place

On the notion this isn't a 'check out my install' thread, I must say I'm digging the white porcelain and direction your install is heading. No worries about overkill; I think you're gonna love that thing. In short order you'll figure out when you need to be building a smaller fire to suit your heating needs. Regardless of color, the cast iron bodywork doesn't radiate heat like the glass does. Its still thermal mass that retains the heat for a while after the coals go away.
