Vermont Castings Oval to Round Elbow?

[SitkaRose]

We just bought a used 1986 Vermont Castings Defiant Encore but now are wondering if we made a bad purchase based on how the pipe lines up, or rather, won't line up. Do they make oval to round elbows? We need a pipe that takes it from 10 1/2" wide oval to 8" round. Is this possible? We paid $325 for the stove and it reportedly was barely used. It was in a nice island home that was only used as a summer house before the current owners bought it and they replaced it with a gas stove. We have been trying for weeks to try to figure out how to hook it up and are really needing help. Thank you.

Looks like a tight fit. If you start with a piece of 8" round single wall stove pipe can you mush that into the oval shape you need so everything else is 8" round to 8" round?

I think this stove has a reversible flue collar that can be flipped so that it points straight up. It will probably need a new 5/16"? gasket there when changed. Then you can use a straight oval to round pipe adapter then up to an elbow and into the chimney thimble.

You might also be able to buy a different flu collar. (Could be a more expensive option though.) My VC Encore came with an 8" oval (I think it's oval... it's buried in the attic somewhere) flue collar so I purchased a 6" round one so that it looked right coming directly out of the stove.

sean b has it down. Use the VC part 0001580 6" cast flue collar (replaces the cast oval collar). Reverse the set up to configure that as a top vent, and get your 6" pipe connected up to the wall thimble/masonry adapter
