BLACK SINGLE WALL PIPE - 8"Ø X 12"L SP00003

The SP00003 single wall stove pipe requires a minimum clearance of 12 inches from combustible materials when installed vertically and 18 inches when running horizontally to the ceiling. These clearances can be reduced by approximately 66% (to 6 inches vertically and 6-8 inches horizontally) if you install a proper heat shield. Never install single wall stove pipe inside a combustible wall, inside a chimney chase, or closer than the specified clearances without approved heat shielding.

The 22-gauge steel used in this pipe is significantly thicker and more durable than the standard 24-gauge pipes commonly sold at big box stores—up to 60% thicker than most single wall brands. This premium thickness provides better structural integrity, longer lifespan, superior heat resistance, and improved roundness for easier installation. The welded seam construction (versus clip-on designs) further enhances durability and eliminates potential smoke leakage points.

No, this single wall stove pipe is designed for indoor use only. It should never be installed outdoors, through a combustible wall, inside a wall cavity, or inside a chimney chase. For portions of your venting system that pass through walls, ceilings, or go outdoors, you must transition to class A chimney pipe or insulated double-wall pipe using appropriate thimbles, ceiling support boxes, or wall pass-throughs rated for your application.

The limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product under normal use conditions. This warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the superior quality of their 22-gauge welded construction. The warranty typically does not cover damage from improper installation, overfiring, corrosion from burning treated wood or other unsuitable fuels, or normal wear from regular use. Contact the manufacturer directly for specific warranty terms and claim procedures.

The SP00003 features one crimped (male) end that fits inside the female end of another pipe or fitting of the same 8-inch diameter. Always install with the crimped end pointing downward toward the stove to prevent creosote and condensation from leaking at the joints. Secure each connection with either three self-tapping stove pipe screws spaced evenly around the circumference or a stainless steel pipe clamp. Never rely on friction alone to hold connections together.

This single wall stove pipe is designed specifically for wood burning and coal burning appliances. It should not be used with pellet stoves, gas stoves, or oil-fired appliances without consulting the appliance manufacturer's specifications. Different fuel types have different venting requirements, and pellet and gas appliances typically require specialized venting systems (such as Type L vent or direct vent systems) that are engineered for their specific exhaust characteristics and temperatures.

Yes, if your wood stove has an 8-inch flue collar or outlet, this pipe will fit properly. The 8-inch measurement refers to the inside diameter of the pipe. The female (uncrimped) end slides over your stove's flue collar, while the male (crimped) end accepts the next section of pipe. Always verify your stove's outlet diameter before ordering, as stove pipe is classified by inside diameter—common sizes include 6-inch, 7-inch, and 8-inch, and different sizes are not interchangeable.

You should inspect your single wall stove pipe and entire chimney system at least once per year, preferably before the heating season begins. If you burn wood regularly (daily during winter), inspect monthly during heavy use periods and clean as needed. Creosote buildup can occur more quickly with softwoods, unseasoned wood, or when burning at low temperatures. Most homeowners should have their chimney professionally swept and inspected annually. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on wood quality, burning habits, and draft conditions.
