Selkirk dbl wall pipe

[mforce]

I am installing a new enerzone 3.5 in place of my old Vermont casting. My new Selkirk dbl wall pipe works with the what Selkirk calls male end down to match up at the top. The problem is the arrows are pointing down. I have a single wall reducer from 8”-6” at the ceiling since the old pipe was 8” and new is 6”. I have proper clearence to go back toward the wall with 6” dbl wall but the top reducer since it is single wall only matches up to the inside of the dbl wall pipe not the outside. Will this effect anything in the long run. I tested a very small fire and it pulled well with no leaking.

Was the ceiling support set up for single or double-walled stove pipe? The single-wall reducer has a clearance of 18". If the support box was properly placed for single-wall then it should be ok for clearances. If not, then the reducer must get a heat shield to reduce the clearance.

Yes the pipe is 18” away from the wall. The pipe from Selkirk has arrows pointing down also which I feel is incorrect.

Their single-wall should have the crimp facing downward.

It’s Selkirk dbl wall.
