Fellas, my oil fired forced air furnace has an exhaust opening that is a 4X6 inch oval opening (is that a 5inch oval?). I need to go into a 6inch round pipe. Where can I find this increaser/ reducer in stove pipe? So in short I need to go from oval to round pipe!!!
Thanks, I need to get my heat on real soon

You got an ACE Hardware? They make the oval for coal pot bellies in Black and Blue steel. I never try Lowes et al for that stuff, good old fashiond hardware store usually has em.

If you are working with single wall pipe, you should be able to form it over the opening on your furnace.
Any place that sells stove pipe can get you what you need if they don't already have it in stok.
There are oval to round adapters, but it is easy to tweak a round to do it too.
Sounds to me like a 5" round tweaked oval, then a 5" to 6" reducer, then the 6" round.
What is interesting to me is that this is an oil burning unit. Usually they are round coming out. Is it new? All the wood stoves I've known that have an oval outport also sell their own adapters to round made to fit. If your applioance is new, you should be able to buy the adaptor from the same source.
