I purchased this from Toby's Tool Shed because the combined shipping with some furnace cement was the best deal I could find. However, the order was shipped in a box about 4x the size of the elbow and the two containers of cement were not packed to keep them stationary. Each 16 oz. container weighed about 2 lbs., they bounced around in the box they beat the daylights out of the pipe... and that's not small feat. Needless to say, the pipe was damaged.
The good news is that this elbow is made of 24 gauge steel and built like a tank. If you don't need a flexible elbow this is the best you can use on your stove because it will not leak or allow air to enter around the connections like a flexible elbow. I have a reverse pipe system on my Blaze King wood stove so the crimped end goes into the stove fitting. Most stoves have a system where the crimped ends point toward the chimney which makes for a better system since the gases are flowing with the connections and not against them. In my system you have to seal the joints with furnace cement and some screws or it will leak. The damage to the elbow I received was primarily on the crimped end and it's almost impossible to straighten this heavy metal.
I think this is a great pipe and prices here were less than those for a flexible elbow at the box stores.
