Troubleshooting
Difficulty securing the flexible liner
Ensure the wingnuts are fully tightened. If the liner is still loose, check if the liner diameter is compatible with the adapter. Consider using self-tapping screws for added security.
Smoky smell or gas leakage detected
Re-inspect all connections. Ensure fire cement or silicone sealant has been applied correctly and has fully cured. Check that the wingnuts are tight and the adapter is properly seated on both the stove pipe and the liner.
Adapter appears corroded or damaged
Stainless steel is durable, but severe corrosion might indicate extreme operating conditions or exposure to harsh substances. Inspect for structural integrity. If damaged, the adapter should be replaced immediately for safety.
