US woodstove to DVL double wall adapter NOT fitting

[hectormedlicott]

Hi everyone.

I'm using a US stove and the flue collar is supposed to be 6 inches so I got a dvk 6 inch stove pipe adapter to start my double wall stove pipe. The adapter slots into the flue collar so loosely that I measured it and the collar is actually about 6 1/8inch inner diameter. Am I missing something? How are you supposed to start the stove pipe?
Thanks

Sorry, autocorrect is changing dvl to dvk

That's a common complaint. I've been meaning to contact them about this. Try fitting the DVL directly to the flue collar. That works on many modern stoves.

Didn't know that was allowed. Thanks. Then just use sealer round the fitting?

No sealer use a gasket if it's still loose

 

[hectormedlicott]

Sorry for not knowing but what kind of gasket?

Flat stove gasket

DVL fits on PE stove flue collars snugly, no need for extra sealing. I'm not sure on US Stoves.

 

[hectormedlicott]

Yeah, that's what I was hoping but it slides all the way down and wiggles around on my US stove

The DVL without the adapter is loose too? If so, the inner liner end will need a wrap of flat gasket. You might be able to use stove glass gasket that has an adhesive backing for an easy install.

That's the adapter and stove flue collar that I just put up pics of. Can't really show it in the pics but it falls all the way in without going the slightest bit tight

Don't use the adapter. Return it.

Attach the DVL pipe directly to the flue collar without the adapter.

 

[hectormedlicott]

So dvl pipe directly to the collar with a bit of flat gasket?

It may not need any gasket. Our stove does not need it.

 

[hectormedlicott]

Okay, I have some double pipe on order so I'll see how that goes

I had the same problem, different stove but the duravent dvl didnt fit snug, my solution was fairly easy once I got the right piece, go to your local store and buy a double male (both sides crimped) that should slide snuggly into the stove's collar, screw the (3) screws to hold secure, make sure the adapter crimped ends are flush with the bottom of the stove collar ( I trimmed mine) then take the dvl adapter and slide that crimped end into the top of the male crimped end, makes for a very snug fit, if you have a drill 1/4" extension bit you can zip in a few self taping sheet metal screws to make everything secure.

 

[hectormedlicott]

That's a good idea. Do you remember the dimensions of that double male piece?

Technically, that changes the rear clearance unless there is a shield for that section. Single wall stovepipe require 18" clearance.

Wait for the DVL pipe to arrive. It may fit the flue collar nicely.

 

[hectormedlicott]

Still waiting for the dvl stove pipe to turn up but when it does I'll update this thread with how it fits going straight from collar to dvl

 

[hectormedlicott]

Dvl stove pipe arrived and fit snug on the collar.
Thank you for your help

Thank you for the update. I need to call DuraVent about this. Their DVL adapter fits few stoves properly.

 

[hectormedlicott]

What's crazy is they tell you to cut it to make it fit but then if it still won't fit you can't return it because youve cut it. $60 wasted
