BLACK SINGLE WALL PIPE - 6"Ø X 12"L SP00001

Single wall stove pipe requires a minimum clearance of 18 inches (three times the pipe diameter) from combustible materials such as walls, ceilings, and furniture. For non-combustible surfaces, maintain at least 9 inches (1.5 times diameter) clearance. These clearances are critical for fire safety and must be maintained throughout the entire pipe run. Always consult local building codes as requirements may vary by jurisdiction.

No, single wall stove pipe is designed exclusively for interior use only and must never pass through walls, ceilings, or floors, or be used outdoors. For exterior applications or wall/ceiling penetrations, you must transition to Class A chimney pipe or insulated chimney system using an appropriate adaptor. Single wall pipe lacks the insulation and protection required for safe exterior or through-wall installations.

The 22 gauge steel construction is significantly thicker and more durable than standard 24 gauge pipe. This thicker material provides better heat retention, improved structural integrity, and longer service life. The heavier gauge steel resists warping and denting better during installation and use, while the welded seam construction (versus clip-together designs) ensures superior strength and a more professional appearance that won't separate over time.

The limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser. This warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the quality and durability of their premium 22 gauge welded construction. For specific warranty terms, conditions, and claim procedures, contact the manufacturer directly or consult the documentation included with your purchase.

The number of pipe sections required depends on your specific installation height and configuration. Measure the vertical distance from your stove collar to the ceiling or point where you'll transition to Class A chimney pipe. Most installations require 3-6 sections of 12-inch pipe, but individual needs vary based on stove placement, ceiling height, and local code requirements. Always consult with a professional installer or chimney specialist to determine proper sizing for your application.

This single wall stove pipe is specifically designed for wood-burning stoves and solid fuel appliances. While it may physically fit some pellet stove applications, always verify compatibility with your specific appliance manufacturer's requirements. Gas appliances typically require specialized venting systems (B-vent or direct vent) and should never be vented with single wall stove pipe. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's venting specifications for safe operation.

Connect sections by inserting the crimped (male) end of one pipe into the uncrimped (female) end of the adjacent pipe. Install with the crimped end pointing downward toward the stove to prevent creosote from leaking at joints. Secure each connection with at least three sheet metal screws evenly spaced around the circumference. Support horizontal runs every 3 feet and ensure all connections are tight and stable before operation.

Inspect your stove pipe at least twice during each heating season (beginning and mid-season) and after any chimney fire. Clean the pipe whenever creosote buildup exceeds 1/8 inch thickness. Heavy users or those burning unseasoned wood may require monthly inspection and cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous creosote buildup, ensures proper draft, and extends the life of your venting system. Professional chimney sweeps can perform comprehensive inspections and cleaning if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.
