BLACK SINGLE WALL PIPE - 6"Ø X 48"L SP00013

The SP00013 requires a minimum clearance of 18 inches to combustible materials when installed vertically, and 18 inches to the ceiling when running horizontally. However, these clearances can be reduced by 50% (to 9 inches) if suitable heat shielding is installed on either the pipe or the combustible material. This single wall pipe is designed for indoor use only and must never be installed inside combustible walls or inside a chimney chase.

The 22 gauge steel construction of this pipe is up to 60% thicker than most single wall stove pipe brands, making it significantly more durable and long-lasting. Lighter gauge pipes (24 or 26 gauge) commonly used in standard heating applications can break down and crumble apart under the high temperatures of wood stove operation. The heavier 22 gauge construction provides superior heat resistance, maintains structural integrity over time, and ensures the pipe won't deteriorate prematurely, giving you better value and safety for your investment.

When installing the SP00013, the crimped male end should always point downward toward the stove or appliance. This orientation prevents creosote and condensation from leaking at the joints. Secure each pipe-to-pipe connection with a minimum of 3 pipe screws (sold separately). The laser welded construction ensures perfectly round pipes that fit together smoothly for easy installation. Measure the distance from your stove to the chimney opening, accounting for the stove height and any elbows (each 90-degree elbow adds about 8 inches, and subtract 2 inches per pipe section for overlap).

No, you should never mix chimney components from different manufacturers and brands, as they may not fit together properly or could create serious safety hazards. All stove and chimney pipe is classified by inside diameter - if your appliance has a 6-inch flue opening, you must use 6-inch diameter pipe throughout. Stick with one brand of stove pipe for your entire installation from stove to chimney to ensure the most secure connections and proper system operation.

The SP00013 comes with a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty that provides peace of mind regarding product quality and durability. This warranty reflects the superior construction quality of the 22 gauge welded pipe. For specific warranty terms, conditions, exclusions, and claim procedures, contact the manufacturer directly or refer to the warranty documentation included with your purchase.

Yes, this heavy-duty single wall stove pipe system is designed for use with both residential and commercial coal and wood burning appliances. The professional-grade 22 gauge construction provides the durability needed for frequent use in commercial settings while remaining ideal for home installations. The pipe is compatible with wood stoves, coal stoves, and other solid fuel burning appliances that require 6-inch diameter venting.

Single wall stove pipe like the SP00013 has the advantage of radiating heat back into your living space, helping to maximize heating efficiency and warm your room more effectively. This makes it excellent for indoor runs where you want that extra heat. However, it requires greater clearances (18 inches to combustibles) compared to double wall pipe which reduces clearances to 6-8 inches. Single wall is the most commonly used stove pipe for connecting appliances to chimneys and is typically more economical than double wall options.

The SP00013 features a specially formulated, fume-free powder coat finish that significantly reduces smoking and odor during the paint curing process that occurs when new pipe is first heated. While some minimal smoking may occur during initial use as the coating fully cures, this high-quality finish is designed to minimize unpleasant odors and excessive smoke compared to standard painted pipes. Ensure proper ventilation during the first few fires with your new stove pipe installation.
