90° ELBOW SINGLE WALL BLACK PIPE - 8"Ø SP00095

This 8-inch single wall stove pipe elbow requires a minimum clearance of 18 inches from all combustible materials including walls, ceilings, wood mantles, and other flammable surfaces. This is a critical safety requirement that must be maintained throughout the entire stove pipe installation to prevent fire hazards.

No, this single wall stove pipe is designed for indoor use only and should not be run through walls, ceilings, or floors. It should not be exposed to outdoor elements. For through-wall or outdoor applications, you must use properly rated double-wall or insulated chimney pipe systems that meet local building codes and safety standards.

Always install the crimped (male) end facing downward toward the stove. This orientation prevents condensation and creosote from leaking out at the joints. The uncrimped (female) end should face upward toward the ceiling or chimney connection, allowing gravity to keep moisture and creosote flowing down into the stove.

22 gauge steel is significantly thicker and more durable than 24 gauge alternatives. The heavier gauge provides better structural integrity, resists warping from high heat, and offers superior longevity. The welded seams on 22 gauge pipe also create a more secure, leak-free connection compared to lighter gauge clip-together systems.

This is a fixed 90 degree elbow, meaning it maintains a permanent right-angle bend and cannot be adjusted. For installations requiring variable angles, you would need an adjustable elbow model. Fixed elbows provide a more rigid, secure connection ideal for installations where the exact 90 degree angle is needed.

This 8-inch single wall stove pipe elbow is compatible with larger wood burning stoves, coal stoves, oil burning appliances, and gas heating units that require 8-inch diameter venting. It's suitable for both residential and light commercial applications. However, always verify compatibility with your specific appliance manufacturer's requirements and local building codes.

The limited lifetime warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal use conditions. It does not usually cover normal wear, rust, deterioration from creosote exposure, damage from improper installation, or failure to maintain proper clearances. Check the specific warranty documentation for complete terms and conditions.

Straight vertical installations provide the best draft and most efficient venting. Each elbow or horizontal run reduces draft efficiency and creates locations where creosote can accumulate. While elbows are sometimes necessary to navigate around obstructions, minimizing their use improves heating efficiency and reduces maintenance requirements.
