Selkirk DSP double wall pipe pics

[EllisB]

While I was planning a new Selkirk DSP double wall pipe system for a wood stove, the most common confusion I found with these is the crimp that you can see from the outside goes up...but there's a crimp on the inside wall that goes down, which you cannot see in stock photos. I never found a good pic of this system before I bought it so I thought I'd share some pics for others looking into this pipe. The first image shows the end that goes towards the stove, with the inside wall crimped. The single crimped end in the second pic goes towards the chimney and fits over the inside wall crimp.

I also wanted to warn any potential Selkirk DSP customers that the 45 degree elbows are in fact NOT adjustable, which is still how they are advertised on many websites (including where I bought them, NorthlineExpress, (broken link removed to http://www.northlineexpress.com/chimney/chimney-pipe-stove-pipe/stove-pipe/6-inch-black-stove-pipe/6-inch-dsp-stove-pipe/6-dsp-double-wall-45-degree-elbow-dsp-6e4-dsp-6e4.html)). If I didn't have an existing Selkirk chimney, I definitely would have went with another brand.

I have an existing Selkirk chimney as well and just ordered DVL pipe from northline express. I was told my a member here (webby3650) that the DVL pipe would fit my existing adaptor

It's usually recommended to stick with one brand of pipe for the entire flue assembly. This is for compatibility, ease of install and warranty purposes.

I know but Selkirk doesn't make a 29-46 inch piece of telescoping pipe and with the stove adaptor I only need 50 inches of pipe. Selkirk needs to make a 29 -46 piece like all the others and they need to get rid of that ugly crimped end at the top that has to be covered with a finishing band

This is their 38-68" telescoping pipe.

Maybe solve this with a shorter straight piece and shorter telescoper?

I used a single 36"-68" telescoping piece from the drive collar to the ceiling support box. Looks very clean.

EllisB, thanks for the pics.
I'm planning to use the 2x wall Selkirk when I install my new stove, so this is good info.
Everything else is Selkirk, except my stove pipe, and I don't really like the fit of the Heatfab single wall slider.

Yes, what you posted is GOOD info for someone not familiar with stovepipe. Most of the time we read to always install black stove pipe (for wood stoves) with the crimped (male) end facing the stove (down)...
which is correct.

However, for someone looking at a piece of double wall, there could be confusion as you mention in your post due to the "crimped end" being a little misleading.

Good post.
