BLACK SINGLE WALL PIPE - 8"Ø X 18"L SP00006

Single wall stove pipe requires 18 inches of clearance from any combustible surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and nearby furniture. This is a standard safety requirement for all single wall venting systems. If you need closer clearances due to space constraints, consider using double-wall stove pipe which only requires 6 inches from walls and 8 inches from ceilings when installed horizontally.

This SP00006 pipe is constructed from heavier 22 gauge steel, which is significantly thicker and more durable than the standard 24 gauge pipes commonly available. The thicker material provides better heat resistance, improved structural integrity, and longer lifespan. Additionally, these pipes feature welded seams rather than clip-on construction, resulting in a sturdier assembly and more professional appearance that won't separate over time.

The crimped male end should always be oriented toward the wood stove (pointing down if installed vertically). This configuration allows condensation and creosote to flow down inside the pipe back toward the stove rather than leaking out at the connections. Proper orientation is essential for preventing leaks and maintaining a clean, efficient venting system.

Yes, the SP00006 can be used for both vertical and horizontal sections of your stove pipe installation. However, remember that single wall pipe requires 18 inches of clearance from combustibles in all directions. For horizontal runs with limited clearance, you may want to consider double-wall pipe which allows for closer installation to walls and ceilings.

The limited lifetime warranty provides long-term protection against manufacturing defects and premature failure of the pipe under normal use conditions. This warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the superior quality of their 22 gauge welded construction. For specific warranty terms, conditions, and claim procedures, contact the manufacturer or retailer where you purchased the product.

Installation is straightforward with the crimped end design that fits easily into round pipes and fittings of the same 8-inch diameter. Each connection should be secured using three sheet metal screws minimum for safety. You may also need additional components such as elbows, tees, dampers, or adapters depending on your specific installation requirements. Always ensure your complete installation meets local building codes and manufacturer specifications.

Single wall stove pipe radiates significantly more heat into your living space compared to double-wall insulated pipe. This makes single wall pipe an excellent choice when you want to maximize the heating efficiency of your wood stove. The trade-off is that single wall requires 18 inches of clearance to combustibles versus 6-8 inches for double wall. Choose single wall when you have adequate clearance and want maximum heat radiation into the room.

The SP00006 is designed for universal compatibility with standard 8-inch wood stove outlets and chimney connections. It works seamlessly with various brands including Englander, Century Heating, and most other major wood stove manufacturers. Verify that your stove has an 8-inch flue outlet and that your chimney system accepts 8-inch connections. If your stove outlet or chimney connection is a different diameter, you'll need an increaser or reducer adapter fitting.
