No. Diameter, material, temperature class and connection must match the appliance and full chimney design.
Matching Stove Pipe Parts to the Chimney System
The flue carries combustion gases out of a solid-fuel appliance, so component choice cannot be based on appearance alone. MacBlair has a dedicated flue section within its stoves and heating range. Check each listed part against the appliance and chimney specification.
Diameter, material, temperature rating, permitted route and joint direction all matter. A change in stove model can require a fresh assessment of the existing chimney or liner. The manufacturer's installation manual and a competent installer should determine the complete system, including air supply and terminal position.
Never mix parts from incompatible systems or reduce a flue to fit a smaller opening without approved design. Keep access for inspection and sweeping, and install a carbon monoxide alarm in line with current guidance. Boiler exhaust systems are different products; compare the boiler flues and flashings only when working on a compatible boiler installation.
