Long time no posting, but I just picked up a brand new Woodstock Fireview off FB. Guy never got around to installing it and is moving, so yay for me. Except now I am cold, trying to install this damm thing. I bought this tee: Error Page Weird, HD won't load, it's this one: Durablack 6" Stove Pipe Tee with Clean-Out Cap Single-Wall Vent Fitting | eBay I thought the "snout" or horizontal end was my male end, but it absolutely refuses to mate with a section of pipe. Flip that pipe around and insert the crimped male end, and it seems to be the perfect (expected) fit. I need an (ideally) 8" section from snout to stove, so had to cut a 12" pipe. I could have boogered this, but it really seems like both the stove and tee would match well with a male crimped end. Crimp the tee? Crimp the 8" female end? Buy a male/male section premade? Help please!
Mixing brands of pipe/fittings? That doesn't go too well sometimes. That said, yeah I'd customize whatever needs it to get connected properly...that is, male end down/toward stove, and 3 screws each joint.
