Well, I was finally able to install a 6" liner with insulation into my existing 8.5 x 13 clay tiles. I had to slightly ovalize it in the middle, but after a lot of effort it went all the way down!
Question: There is a slight kink where it bent too much then straightened out as I was feeding it down. does anyone see any issues with this (see photo)?
Also, should I use high temp silicone or something else on the tee fitting connection through the thimble (photo2)?
