6" X 12"L VORTEX DOUBLE WALL SLIP SECTION VOD0076

A slip section slides over standard pipe lengths to allow for easy adjustment and to connect irregular lengths during installation. This 12-inch slip section eliminates the need for time-consuming cutting and crimping, allowing you to achieve the perfect pipe length for your specific installation without custom modifications. It's particularly useful when dealing with non-standard distances or when you need to fine-tune the final connection.

The Vortex double wall slip section requires a minimum clearance of 6 inches to combustible side walls and 8 inches to combustible ceilings. If the assembled pipe section has no adjustable length components, these clearances may be reduced to 5 inches. This is a significant safety improvement over single wall stove pipe, which requires 18 inches of clearance. The clearance to non-combustible materials is 0 inches, but the pipe should not actually touch cement, bricks, or other non-combustibles.

No, this double wall stove pipe slip section is designed as a connector pipe only and must never be enclosed or used to pass through walls, ceilings, floors, or other inaccessible areas. It should only be used to connect your wood-burning appliance to a properly installed Class A chimney system. For through-wall or through-ceiling installations, you must use appropriate thimbles, ceiling support boxes, and Class A chimney pipe specifically rated for those applications.

Installation follows the male-to-female slip joint system. The outer wall connections should be oriented with the male end pointing up (follow the "UP" arrow labels), while the inner wall is opposite with male end down for proper draft. Each joint must be secured with three (3) sheet metal screws, which are included with the component. Ensure all connections are tight and properly aligned before operation. The slip section slides over existing pipe to adjust length as needed.

This Vortex double wall slip section is fully certified and complies with multiple safety standards including NFPA 211, CSA B365, UL 103 HT, and ULCS629. It has been tested to handle maximum continuous temperatures of 1000°F and intermittent temperatures up to 1700°F. These certifications ensure the product meets rigorous safety requirements for residential wood-burning appliance installations in both the United States and Canada.

The exclusive thermal weave design is an innovative feature of the stainless steel inner wall that creates controlled airflow in the space between the double walls. This airflow pattern promotes even heat distribution and results in significantly lower outer wall temperatures, improving safety by reducing the risk of accidental burns and allowing for closer clearances to combustible materials. It also eliminates fumigating effects during initial firing of your appliance.

The VOD0076 slip section is specifically designed for use with 6-inch Vortex double wall stove pipe systems. While it adapts to most brands of Class A chimney pipe at the connection point to the chimney, it should be used with matching Vortex double wall components for the stove pipe run itself to ensure proper fit, safety compliance, and warranty coverage. Using mismatched components may compromise safety and void warranties.

This Vortex double wall slip section comes with a limited lifetime warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship when the product is properly installed, maintained, and used according to specifications. The warranty applies to the original purchaser and covers replacement of defective components but does not include labor costs for removal or installation. Proper installation by a qualified professional and regular maintenance are required to maintain warranty coverage.
