VOP0002 Pellet Vent Pipe Features
- Extended Length Design: 36-inch pipe sections reduce the number of connections needed, minimizing leak points and simplifying installation for longer vent runs.
- Premium Insulated Construction: Double-wall design with fiberglass insulation minimizes condensation, reduces exterior surface heat, and prevents drafting issues in pellet stove systems.
- Stainless Steel Inner Liner: Resists acidic condensation from pellet combustion and ensures long-term durability without corrosion or deterioration.
- Versatile Vent Routing: Works with standard pellet vent connectors and fittings for vertical, horizontal, or offset configurations to fit any installation requirement.
- Professional-Grade Quality: Engineered to meet UL and NFI standards for safe, reliable performance with proper draft characteristics and thermal management.

VOP0002 Pellet Vent Pipe FAQ
What is the advantage of using 36-inch VOP0002 sections instead of 24-inch sections?
The VOP0002's 36-inch length reduces the total number of connections required in your venting system. Fewer connections mean fewer potential leak points, simplified installation, and improved system reliability. For longer vent runs, the VOP0002 is more economical and easier to assemble.
Can I mix VOP0001 (24-inch) and VOP0002 (36-inch) sections in the same system?
Yes, VOP0001 and VOP0002 sections are fully compatible and can be mixed in the same venting system. Both have identical 3-inch diameter and connection methods. Mixing lengths is ideal for custom vent routing that requires shorter or longer sections in different areas.
Is the VOP0002 suitable for horizontal applications?
Yes, the VOP0002 can be used for horizontal vent runs. Maintain minimum 1/4 inch slope (downward) per foot of horizontal distance to ensure proper condensation drainage. Longer horizontal sections may reduce draft efficiency, so keep horizontal runs as short as possible and verify with your stove manufacturer.
What is the installation process for VOP0002 sections?
Slide the male end of one section into the female end of the next section (approximately 1-2 inches overlap). Secure the connection with two stainless steel hose clamps placed above and below the overlap point, tightening evenly. Do not force connections - proper fit should be smooth and straightforward.
How many VOP0002 sections do I need for my pellet stove installation?
The number of sections depends on your specific vent run length and configuration. For vertical runs, divide total height by 36 inches. For combined vertical and horizontal runs, calculate each segment separately. Always add one extra section for flexibility and to account for measurement variations in installation.
What maintenance is required for the VOP0002 pellet vent?
Perform annual inspection and cleaning before each heating season. Use a 3-inch pellet vent brush with flexible rods to remove creosote and ash buildup. Check all hose clamps for tightness and corrosion. Inspect inner liner for corrosion or damage. Professional chimney cleaning is recommended annually for thorough system assessment.
Are there special considerations for outdoor VOP0002 installations?
Yes, outdoor installations require proper roof flashing and storm collar at the exit point to prevent water intrusion. The double-wall insulation helps prevent condensation inside the pipe. Inspect the system quarterly for weather damage, loose clamps, or corrosion. In severe climates, consider additional protective coating on the outer casing.
What should I do if I notice condensation inside the VOP0002?
Condensation indicates either inadequate draft, excessive horizontal vent run, or stove operation below proper burn temperature. Verify your pellet stove is operating correctly. Check for blockages in vent sections. Ensure vertical rise is adequate. If condensation persists, consult a professional chimney sweep to assess the complete system performance and make necessary adjustments.
