4" X 90° PELLET ELBOW (UNPAINTED) VOP0093

A 45° elbow provides a more gradual directional change compared to a 90° elbow, which can improve draft performance and reduce creosote buildup. The VOP0093 45° elbow is ideal for making gentle offsets around obstructions or creating multi-elbow configurations. Two 45° elbows can be combined to achieve a 90° turn while maintaining better airflow characteristics than a single 90° elbow.

The VOP0093 pellet vent 45° elbow requires only 3 inches of clearance to combustible materials. This is achieved through the double-wall air-insulated design with internal spacing beads that maintain uniform air space between the inner and outer walls, providing safe installation in confined spaces while meeting code requirements.

Yes, this 45° elbow is designed for versatile installation and can be used in both vertical and horizontal configurations. The 360-degree swivel base provides complete flexibility to orient the elbow at any angle needed to offset obstructions or navigate around obstacles in your venting system layout.

The VOP0093 is compatible with pellet stoves, corn stoves, multi-fuel appliances burning biofuels, and oil-burning appliances. It is specifically designed for low-temperature venting systems where flue gas temperatures do not exceed 570°F (298.8°C), making it suitable for most pellet and corn burning stoves approved for PL-Vent use.

The twist-lock connection system features proven gasketed coupling joints that connect in seconds for quick installation. Simply align the elbow components with the adjoining pipe sections and twist to lock them together, creating an airtight seal without requiring additional fasteners, clamps, or screws. This ensures proper joint integrity while making assembly and disassembly easier for maintenance.

Yes, multiple elbows can be used in pellet venting systems, though local building codes may specify maximum offset distances and the number of elbows allowed. The 45° elbow is particularly useful for creating complex routing paths. Always check manufacturer specifications and local codes to ensure proper draft and system performance. Combining two VOP0093 elbows can create a 90° offset with improved airflow compared to a single 90° elbow.

The VOP0093 is tested and listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. in accordance with UL-641 Standard for Low Temperature Venting Systems. This certification ensures the product meets rigorous safety requirements for pellet vent applications. Always verify that your complete installation complies with local building codes and the requirements of your authority having jurisdiction.

Yes, the outer wall is made of paintable galvanized steel (Galvalume), allowing you to customize the appearance to match your décor or installation requirements. Use high-temperature paint rated for the operating temperatures of your venting system for best results, long-lasting finish, and to ensure the paint does not degrade or emit fumes during operation.
