BLACK SINGLE WALL PIPE - 7"Ø X 36"L SP00011

Single wall stove pipe requires a minimum clearance of 18 inches from all combustible materials including walls, ceilings, and floors. This clearance can be reduced to 9 inches when using proper heat shields installed with 1-inch air gaps. Heat shields should be made of 28-gauge sheet metal or approved fire-resistant material, spaced 1 inch from the wall with open air circulation at top and bottom. Always follow NFPA-211 guidelines and local building codes for your installation.

Install the pipe with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove so condensation and creosote drain back into the stove. Connect sections tightly, using the predrilled holes as guides to drill and secure each joint with 3 evenly-spaced screws. Keep runs as short and straight as possible for optimal draft. When running horizontally, maintain a minimum upward pitch of 1/4 inch per foot. The pipe must transition to Class A insulated chimney pipe when passing through ceilings, walls, or entering attic spaces.

The 22-gauge steel is significantly thicker and more durable than standard 24-gauge pipe, providing superior strength and longevity. This pipe features professional welded seams rather than snap-together clip-on construction, which creates a sturdier assembly, cleaner appearance, and prevents separation over time. The heavier gauge steel resists warping, deterioration, and rust better than thin-wall alternatives, potentially lasting 10-15+ years with proper maintenance compared to just a few years for cheap thin pipe.

No, single wall stove pipe cannot pass through walls, ceilings, or enter attic spaces. It can only be used as an interior connector between your stove and the point where you transition to Class A insulated chimney pipe. When passing through combustible walls, you must use an insulated thimble and transition to Class A chimney pipe, which has 2-inch clearance requirements. For ceiling penetrations, use approved ceiling support boxes and Class A pipe. This is a critical safety requirement to prevent fire hazards.

Inspect your single wall stove pipe at least once per year before heating season, checking for rust, deterioration, warping, loose connections, and excessive creosote buildup. Clean the pipe whenever creosote accumulation exceeds 1/4 inch thickness, typically every 1-2 months during active burning season depending on wood moisture content and burning practices. Check joints and screws for tightness regularly. Long uninsulated pipe runs may accumulate creosote faster due to cooler exhaust temperatures, requiring more frequent cleaning to prevent dangerous chimney fires.

This 7-inch diameter pipe is compatible with wood stoves, pellet stoves, and coal stoves that have a 7-inch flue collar outlet. The pipe diameter must match your stove's outlet size exactly - never use reducers or increasers directly at the stove collar. If your stove has a different diameter outlet (commonly 6 or 8 inches), you'll need to order the corresponding size pipe. Always verify your stove's outlet diameter before ordering, and ensure you're buying the same brand of pipe components for proper fit and safety.

The limited lifetime warranty provides peace of mind against manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use conditions. This demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in their premium 22-gauge welded construction and quality materials. The warranty typically covers structural integrity, weld failures, and material defects but may not cover damage from improper installation, lack of maintenance, over-firing, or normal wear from use. For specific warranty terms, conditions, exclusions, and claim procedures, contact the manufacturer or retailer where you purchased the product.

Yes, properly installed heat shields can reduce required clearances from 18 inches to 9 inches for both walls and ceilings. Heat shields must be constructed from 28-gauge sheet metal or approved fire-resistant materials and installed with a critical 1-inch air gap behind the shield using non-combustible spacers. Leave openings at the top and bottom for air circulation to carry heat away from the wall. The shield should extend well beyond the sides and above the pipe area. Some manufacturers also offer pipe-mounted heat shields that attach directly to the stove pipe itself to reduce clearances.
