Oval to Circle ...

Right now I have a regular 6" black stove pipe that I ovaled on one end to fit over the 6" oval opening of the WM. My Pearl No. 12 has the same 6" oval outlet but the parlor stove has a 4" round outlet on the back. What is the reason for the oval? My guess would be to reduce the amount of front to back surface area it took up on top. My real question is, do they make cast iron oval to round adaptors? I believe I have read that some stoves came with thi adaptor already but maybe I'm mistaken. What I have works fine but I was just interested.

Looks like they did the same thing I did but are selling it. And I do believe mine looks better.

When I was learning from my dad, that's what he said to do to go from round pipe to oval. Squese to shape, cut and crimp to fit.

Are those joints secured with screws? If not, for safety's sake, please consider doing so soon.

it's secured with a screw in the back. Think I need more?

Three screws per joint, you can seal the pipe joints with furnace cement after the screws are put in. If the joints have gaps it is like sucking through a straw with a hole in it. Furnace cement at the joints lets you take the pipe back apart later easily, I used Permatex on my joints and it will be harder to get apart but I don't have to worry about the cement getting brittle and falling away.
