Metalbestos ceiling adapter

[SolarAndWood]

I have an 8" Metalbestos ceiling adapter that I need to connect the new stove to. I was told that I can only use Selkirk double wall to connect the stove to it? Is this right? Isn't the ceiling side of a ceiling adapter generic?

Who told you that? A Metalbestos vendor?
As long as you have the correct flue extension from your ceiling
support box, you can use any double-wall that fits.

I was trying to get a quote for Simpson. They wouldn't quote it because they said it wouldn't work. I understand the chimney side but I don't understand how the ceiling side can be incompatible.

please dont spead incorrect info,

read a mb chimney manual, only mb pipe is approved.

that said. the mb dsa( dripless smoke adapter) parts will fit fine with duravent, but is technically not approved.

ps, i dont sell metal bestos

Hmmm...well sell Excel DW connector pipe to lotsa folks who have MB Class A chimney systems.
If it wasn't approved I'm sure our owner would put the kibosh on the sales...
But, I agree that one should always follow the manual - IF it's available...

Same here DAK. We dont blatantly miss match pipe, but i have always sold what ever connector pipe to go on any existing chimney. If its a fresh install, its silly to mix them. So it the selkirk chimney not approved with single wall? Im not going to look it up.

I would have given the same advice here as Dak. Probably still will.

Thanks for the feedback, but I am still lost. What double wall pipe should I be using?

 

[MountainStoveGuy]

technically, selkirk.

 

[SolarAndWood]

Ok, so technically all I should be using is this?

One reason I'm going to want to use something besides MB DSP with my existing
MB Class A chimney ... the smallest offset I can get (using two 45-degree elbows)
is 6", whereas I need more like 4" - the latter is available with some of the other
brands.
