4" PELLET STOVE BLACK ADAPTER VOP0151

The VOP0151 is designed to fit most 4-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 4-inch exhaust outlet. The adapter connects to standard 4-inch pellet vent pipe systems.

The VOP0151 is the 4-inch version, while the VOP0150 is the 3-inch version. The primary difference is the inner diameter: the VOP0151 has a 4-inch inner diameter with a 4.75-inch outer diameter, while the VOP0150 has a 3-inch inner diameter with a 3.75-inch outer diameter. Both share the same 3.6-inch length and feature identical construction quality with dual-wall design, revolutionary gasket system, and smooth-weld technology. Choose the size that matches your pellet stove's exhaust outlet diameter.

The VOP0151 features a revolutionary gasket system that creates leak-proof connections without requiring silicone sealant. However, some manufacturers recommend using high-temperature RTV silicone sealant where the adapter connects to the stove collar for added security and to ensure a completely airtight seal. Always consult your pellet stove's installation manual for specific sealing requirements, as recommendations may vary by manufacturer.

The VOP0151 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 4-inch 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.

Installation is straightforward: the crimped end of the adapter slides over your pellet stove's 4-inch exhaust collar. The female end then accepts the male end of your 4-inch 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.

The stainless steel inner wall provides superior corrosion resistance against acidic flue gases produced by pellet combustion. Pellet stoves, especially those burning corn or other biofuels, can produce corrosive condensate that would damage lesser materials over time. The stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability and maintains the integrity of your venting system even under harsh operating conditions. The galvalume steel outer wall offers excellent strength and weather resistance with a professional black finish.

Yes, the VOP0151 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 4-inch exhaust outlet and is designed for these fuel types, this adapter will provide safe and reliable venting performance for your multi-fuel pellet stove.
