CAMP STOVE PIPE 4"Ø X 24"L (4 pcs) (AC-CSPIPEKIT) AC03521

Yes, every pipe joint must be secured for safety and proper operation. You should use either a pipe clamp at each connection point or three self-tapping stovepipe screws per joint. Pipe clamps are recommended as they're easier to install and remove for seasonal disassembly. These securing devices are sold separately and are essential to prevent sections from separating during use.

No, this single-wall camp stove pipe is designed exclusively for outdoor recreational use in non-permanent structures such as canvas wall tents with stove jacks, ice fishing houses, and temporary outdoor shelters. It is not approved for use in residential homes, mobile homes, or permanent structures. For home installations, you must use approved residential chimney systems with proper Class A chimney pipe.

Single-wall stove pipe requires 18 inches of clearance to combustible materials when running horizontally (like tent walls or wooden surfaces) and 12 inches when running vertically. These clearances can be reduced by approximately 66% if you install a proper heat shield between the pipe and combustible surface. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and local fire safety codes.

Yes, this pipe kit is specifically designed for use with 4-inch flue outlet camp stoves, including the Englander Grizzly, Survivor, and similar recreational wood stoves. The 4-inch inside diameter matches standard camp stove outlets. The kit is included with Englander Grizzly camp stove packages and is sold separately as a replacement or additional pipe kit.

Regular cleaning is essential for safety and performance. Use a standard 4-inch flue brush to remove creosote, soot, and ash buildup from inside the pipe sections. The welded seamless construction is safe for brush cleaning. Inspect pipe sections before each season for damage, excessive rust, or wear. Clean the pipe when you notice reduced draft, visible creosote buildup, or at least once per camping season for heavy use.

When transitioning through tent roofs or other barriers, you should use a single-wall to double-wall adapter along with appropriate double-wall insulated pipe, which has reduced clearances (typically 2 inches to combustibles). Never run single-wall pipe directly through combustible surfaces. For wall tent installations, use proper stove jacks designed for single-wall pipe with adequate clearance spacing.

This 22-gauge (0.64mm) welded pipe is significantly more durable than standard 24-26 gauge snap-lock pipe commonly sold for heating applications. The heavier gauge steel resists warping and breakdown at high temperatures (up to 800°F), while the laser-welded seams prevent smoke leakage and maintain structural integrity. Snap-lock pipe can crumble apart under the extreme heat of wood stoves, making it unsafe for solid fuel applications.

This kit provides 8 feet (four 2-foot sections) of pipe, which covers most basic installations from stove to tent roof. However, your total needs depend on tent height, stove position, and whether you need elbows or horizontal runs. Measure from your stove outlet to the exit point, adding extra length for proper draft (typically 1-2 feet above the tent roof). Many installations use 8-12 feet total. You can purchase additional individual 2-foot sections (Part #AC-PIPE4) as needed.
