Does this adapter fit all flexible flue liners?

It is designed to fit most flexible flue brands, but always check the diameter compatibility.

What is the purpose of the pressure wingnuts?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting flexible liner into adapter

Ensure the end of the flexible liner is not damaged or crushed. Gently twist the liner as you insert it. If necessary, slightly loosen the wingnuts to create more space.

Sealant not adhering properly

Ensure both the adapter and the surfaces to be joined are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a sealant specifically designed for high-temperature flue applications.

Wingnuts are difficult to tighten

Check for any debris caught in the threads. Ensure the liner is correctly seated within the sleeve before tightening the wingnuts.
