trying to install new burner-black pipe question

[ihuntgsps]

Just brought home a NC13 Englander and am setting it up. how tightly do I join the black pipes together between the flue collar on the stove and the tie in at the ceiling for the chimney? If it is completely tight with no movement and I install the upper end in the chimney how do I get the wood burner/ flue collar under it? Tilt the stove? try tilting/bending pipe to make it fit then straighten it out?
Also do I apply that black pipe cement between sections or just compression holds them together?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Go purchase a telescoping length of pipe. It makes installation/cleaning much easier and gives the pipe the room to expand/contract as it heats up and cools down.

Welcome ihunt,

If you are going straight up from stove with single wall black pipe to ceiling pass through/connector you can use what is called a slip joint connector. It is a connector that will slip 4-5" within itself and then slip back out. Here is a linkbroken link removed to http://www.northlineexpress.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=5IM-BM0042). They are common and available locally. No need for furnace cement between joints. Just seat them in as far as possible and secure with 3 evenly spaced screws. Make sure the corrugated end of the black pipe points toward the stove--thus keeping creosote from dripping out of the pipe.

Thank you for the great info. This will make life much easier.
Great web site....I have been reading for months and have learned a lot.

The black pipe to Class-A adapter that came with the ceiling support box I used (Selkirk SuperVent found at Lowes and Menards) was made to give about 4 inches of adjustment. You slide your black pipe up onto it farther than you need to go, and then slide it back down into the stove collar.

Once it's in place, just wipe off the excess furnace cement (if you used any) that is left when you slide the pipe back down.

Just found a slip connector at the local hardware store. Should work a lot better than what I was trying to do yesterday.
Great site...great advice...Thank you!
