Hi all. I've got a 1975 Vermont Castings wood stove. Looking to replace the pipe. Having a tough time sizing the increaser to 8 inch. Any good resources or info out there? Thanks
 
Which VC stove is this for?
 
The actual mfg date may be later than 1975. That is when the casting form was dated. Are you looking to adapt from the oval flue outlet to 8" round pipe?
 
The crimped end goes inside of the oval flue collar. When installing stovepipes, the crimped ends always point toward the stove.
