3" PELLET STOVE BLACK ADAPTER VOP0150

The VOP0150 is designed to fit most 3-inch pellet stove nozzles available on the market. It features a crimped end that slides over the stove collar and works with pellet stoves that burn wood pellets, corn, and other biofuels. To ensure compatibility, verify that your pellet stove has a 3-inch exhaust outlet. If you have a specific brand like Harman, check if a specialized adapter is required.

No, the VOP0150 features a revolutionary gasket system that creates leak-proof connections without requiring silicone sealant. This innovative design simplifies installation and ensures reliable sealing. However, some manufacturers recommend using high-temperature RTV silicone sealant where the adapter connects to the stove collar for added security, so consult your pellet stove's installation manual for specific requirements.

The VOP0150 pellet stove adapter complies with all major North American safety and performance standards, including NFPA 211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances), CSA B365 (Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment), UL 641 (Type L Low-Temperature Venting Systems), CAN/ULC S609 (Standard for Factory-Built Chimneys), and ULC/ORD C441. These certifications ensure the adapter meets rigorous safety requirements for residential installations.

Yes, when used as part of a complete pellet vent system, this adapter supports various venting configurations including vertical, horizontal, and chimney reline installations. However, you must follow the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions to confirm which venting configurations are permitted for your specific pellet stove. Check for any restrictions on maximum horizontal run, minimum and maximum vertical rise, and maximum offset requirements.

The VOP0150 features a dual-wall construction with an inner wall made of stainless steel and an outer wall made of galvalume steel. The stainless steel inner wall provides superior corrosion resistance against acidic flue gases produced by pellet combustion, ensuring long-term durability. The galvalume steel outer wall offers excellent strength and weather resistance with a professional black painted finish that complements your pellet stove.

Installation is straightforward: the crimped end of the adapter slides over your pellet stove's 3-inch exhaust collar. The female end then accepts the male end of your pellet vent pipe. Ensure a secure fit and seal the connection according to your stove manufacturer's instructions. The precision-formed ends ensure proper alignment, and the adapter should be firmly attached before connecting additional venting components like tees, elbows, or pipe sections.

Smooth-weld technology refers to the advanced welding process used to join the inner and outer walls of the adapter, creating virtually invisible seams. This manufacturing technique provides several benefits: enhanced structural integrity for a stronger connection, improved aesthetics with a clean professional appearance, reduced areas where creosote or ash can accumulate, and better overall performance of the venting system.

Yes, the VOP0150 is designed for use with pellet stoves that burn wood pellets, corn, and other biofuels. The stainless steel inner wall is specifically chosen for its ability to resist the corrosive nature of flue gases produced by various biomass fuels. As long as your appliance has a 3-inch exhaust outlet and is designed for these fuel types, this adapter will provide safe and reliable venting performance.
