How to seal the pipe on back of stove?

[Gwiz]

I need to seal the pipe coming off the back of my stove. The stove is porcelain, and the existing pipe sets inside the stove flange. Previous owner had some aluminum looking 'tape' on there. I've moved it and need to reseal. It has a rope seal shoved in around the pipe where it enters the brick chimney.

Thanks

I sealed around mine with Rutland furnace cement. It comes in a caulk tube and is good up to 2000 degrees according to the info on the tube. It was about four bucks at TSC.

As a dumb question...... when it comes time to disassemble, does the cement come apart?

I've been contemplating sealing up the pipe on my VC Defiant because I can hear it whistling a bit...... i figure i'm losing some draft.

If the tapered pipe fits into the stove's collar properly then you don't need to seal it at all. If your stove collar/pipe connection is sloppy then you might consider an appliance adapter which is meant to adapt the stove collar to the pipe on some stoves.

If all else fails and you need to goop some crap in there to make you feel better than the proper product is furnace cement. I use and prefer rutland black in either tube or tub.

It does come apart if it is moved a little. I think it is supposed to be used on parts that will not be moved. Seals up nicely.

I have used automotive exhaust "cement" on the 6" black pipe for the shop stove. Seems to hold up pretty well. Comes in a big tooth paste like tube. Goop it on and go. Be sure to check the operating temps of the product you choose yourself.

I second that dustytools, I used rutland furnace cement in a small caulk tube from TSC, it worked great…….
