BLACK SINGLE WALL PIPE - 6"Ø X 36"L SP00010

The SP00010 single wall stove pipe requires a minimum clearance of 18 inches from all combustible materials including walls, ceilings, furniture, and other flammable surfaces. This clearance can be reduced to 9 inches if you install appropriate heat shielding on either the pipe or the combustible surface. Heat shields must be mounted at least 1 inch away from the wall with ventilation space to allow air circulation. Always verify local building codes as requirements may vary by jurisdiction.

No, single wall stove pipe like the SP00010 should never be used as chimney pipe or pass through walls, ceilings, attics, or roof spaces. This pipe is designed only to connect your wood stove to a proper chimney system. When the pipe needs to penetrate a ceiling or wall, you must transition to UL-listed Class A insulated chimney pipe, which has a 2-inch clearance to combustibles and is rated for use through structural penetrations and exterior applications.

Install the SP00010 pipe with the male crimped end pointing down toward the stove to prevent creosote and condensation from leaking out at the joints. Each pipe section should fit snugly into the section below it. Secure each joint with at least three black screws evenly spaced around the circumference. Keep the total pipe run as short and direct as possible (maximum 10 feet), limit horizontal runs to 3 feet unsupported, and use no more than two 90-degree elbows for optimal draft performance.

The SP00010 features premium 22 gauge steel construction compared to standard 24 gauge pipes, providing greater durability and heat resistance. Its laser-welded seams create a much cleaner appearance and sturdier assembly than clip-on pipes, preventing smoke leakage and ensuring structural integrity. The black powder-coated finish resists high temperatures and corrosion. Most importantly, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty, demonstrating exceptional quality and providing long-term peace of mind for your investment.

Inspect your SP00010 stove pipe after burning every cord of wood or at least once annually, checking for creosote buildup, rust, damage, and secure connections. Creosote deposits accumulate faster with "airtight" efficient stoves and when burning unseasoned wood. Clean the pipe thoroughly when creosote buildup exceeds 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round wire brush sized for 6-inch pipe, and always check that all screws remain tight and joints are sealed. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous chimney fires and ensures optimal stove performance.

Yes, you can reduce the standard 18-inch clearance to 9 inches by installing approved heat shielding. Options include 28-gauge sheet metal or 1/4-inch cement board mounted at least 1 inch away from combustible surfaces to allow air circulation behind the shield. Alternatively, you can install heat shielding directly on the pipe itself. Some commercial double-wall stove pipe shields reduce clearances to as little as 6 inches. Always follow the heat shield manufacturer's instructions and verify compliance with local building codes before reducing clearances.

The SP00010 is primarily designed for wood-burning stove applications. While it may physically fit some pellet stove installations, pellet stoves often have different venting requirements and typically use specialized pellet vent pipe or Type L vent systems. Wood stoves generate higher flue gas temperatures than pellet stoves, which affects draft and creosote formation. Always consult your pellet stove manufacturer's installation manual to determine the correct venting system, as using improper pipe can void warranties and create safety hazards.

The limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser. This includes issues with the welded seams, steel construction, and structural integrity when the pipe is installed and used according to manufacturer specifications. The warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, lack of maintenance, chimney fires, corrosion from exterior use, or normal wear from proper use. Keep your proof of purchase and ensure the pipe is installed by a qualified professional or according to all installation instructions and local codes to maintain warranty coverage.
