6" TO-THE-CEILING DOUBLE WALL PIPE KIT VODBKTC06

Double-wall stove pipe features air-insulated construction with an air space between two walls, which reduces required clearances from 18 inches (for single-wall) to just 6 inches from combustible surfaces. This makes double-wall pipe ideal for installations in tighter spaces or closer to walls and ceilings. The double-wall design also maintains higher flue gas temperatures, reducing condensation and creosote buildup while improving overall stove efficiency. Single-wall pipe radiates more heat into the room but requires significantly more clearance space.

This kit features a telescoping section that adjusts from 38 inches to 70 inches in length, accommodating a wide range of ceiling heights. To determine fit, measure from the top of your wood stove to the point where the pipe will penetrate your ceiling. The kit works best for ceiling heights within the 38"-70" range when combined with the appliance connector. If your ceiling is higher than 70 inches, you may need additional pipe sections. For exact measurements, account for the stove collar height and desired positioning.

While this kit includes all necessary components for installation and comes with 36 self-tapping screws for assembly, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper setup, safety compliance, and adherence to local building codes. A certified chimney professional or licensed contractor can ensure the pipe is properly sealed, correctly positioned with appropriate clearances, and safely penetrates the ceiling. Professional installation also ensures the system meets UL and ULC safety standards and maintains warranty coverage. DIY installation should only be attempted by experienced individuals familiar with venting systems and local code requirements.

This "To-The-Ceiling" kit is specifically designed for vertical installations where the pipe goes straight up from the stove through the ceiling. While double-wall stove pipe can be used horizontally in some applications, horizontal runs require 8 inches clearance to combustibles (versus 6 inches for vertical runs). This particular kit's telescoping design and included components are optimized for vertical ceiling penetration applications. If you need horizontal runs to reach a wall or offset around obstacles, you would need additional elbow connectors and pipe sections beyond what's included in this ceiling kit.

Double-wall stove pipe requires regular inspection and cleaning to maintain safe operation. At minimum, inspect the pipe system annually before the heating season, checking for corrosion, loose connections, damage, or excessive creosote buildup. Clean the interior of the pipe at least once per year (more frequently if burning unseasoned wood) using proper chimney brushes and cleaning tools. Check all connections and fasteners to ensure they remain tight and secure. The exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dust. Always ensure proper clearances are maintained and replace any damaged sections immediately. Professional chimney sweeping services are recommended for thorough cleaning and safety inspections.

This kit includes the essential components for connecting your 6-inch wood stove to a ceiling penetration: one appliance connector, one telescoping section (38"-70"), one square wall trim collar, and 36 self-tapping screws. However, you will also need Class A chimney pipe to continue from the ceiling up through the roof (sold separately), a ceiling support box or thimble for proper ceiling penetration, appropriate flashing and storm collar for roof penetration, and a chimney cap. You may also need high-temperature silicone sealant for connections. The kit provides the stove-to-ceiling portion, but a complete wood stove venting system requires additional components above the ceiling level.

The limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and proper installation conditions. This typically includes issues such as manufacturing defects, premature corrosion, or structural failures that occur under normal operating conditions. The warranty generally does not cover damage from improper installation, lack of maintenance, over-firing the stove, using improper fuels, physical damage during handling, or normal wear and tear. Warranty coverage requires proper installation according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. For specific warranty terms, conditions, exclusions, and claim procedures, refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit or contact the manufacturer directly.

This double-wall stove pipe kit is specifically designed and UL/ULC listed for use with wood-burning stoves and freestanding wood fireplaces with 6-inch diameter flue outlets. It should not be used with pellet stoves or gas appliances, as these require different venting systems designed for their specific exhaust characteristics. Pellet stoves typically use smaller diameter pellet vent pipe (often 3" or 4") with different temperature and draft requirements. Gas appliances require Type B vent pipe or direct vent systems designed for lower temperature exhaust gases. Always use venting components specifically designed and certified for your appliance type to ensure safety and maintain manufacturer warranties.
