SLIP CONNECTOR SINGLE WALL BLACK PIPE - 8"Ø (4"-18") SP00072

A slip connector is designed to connect irregular lengths of stove pipe without requiring you to cut pipe sections to exact measurements. It telescopes from 4 inches to 18 inches in length, making it ideal for situations where precise measurements are difficult or where you need adjustability to achieve the proper fit between your stove and chimney components. This eliminates the need for cutting tools and reduces installation time significantly.

The 22 gauge steel used in this slip connector is significantly thicker and more durable than the standard 24 gauge steel found in many competitor products. This heavier gauge provides superior strength, better heat resistance, and longer service life. Combined with welded seams instead of crimped or clip-on connections, you get a much sturdier assembly that's less likely to separate or fail during operation.

Yes, this 8-inch diameter slip connector is designed to work with standard 8-inch single wall black stove pipe from various manufacturers. The slip connector features a male end that telescopes inside standard female pipe connections, providing compatibility with most residential wood stove and fireplace venting systems. Always ensure proper fit and follow local building codes when connecting different pipe components.

Installation is straightforward: simply slide the male end of the slip connector into the female end of your existing stove pipe until you achieve the desired length between 4 and 18 inches. The pipe telescopes smoothly, allowing you to adjust the length as needed for your specific installation. Ensure the connection is secure and that all joints are properly aligned before operating your stove. The slip design also makes it easy to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance.

Regular inspection and cleaning are essential for safe operation. At least once per heating season (or more frequently with heavy use), disconnect the slip connector and inspect it for creosote buildup, corrosion, or damage. Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a wire brush to remove any accumulated soot or creosote. Check that the telescoping sections move smoothly and that there are no gaps or separations in the connection. Replace the connector if you notice any holes, severe rust, or warping.

Yes, this slip connector comes with a limited lifetime warranty, providing long-term peace of mind for your investment. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use conditions. This warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the quality and durability of their premium 22 gauge welded steel construction. Be sure to retain your proof of purchase and follow proper installation and maintenance guidelines to maintain warranty coverage.

Single wall black stove pipe typically has a maximum operating temperature range of up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The 22 gauge steel construction with high-heat resistant black finish is designed to withstand the temperatures produced by wood-burning stoves and fireplaces during normal operation. However, always maintain proper clearances to combustible materials as specified by your stove manufacturer and local building codes, as single wall pipe does not provide insulation and exterior surfaces will become very hot during use.

This single wall black stove pipe slip connector is designed primarily for indoor use as part of your wood stove or fireplace venting system, typically connecting your appliance to a chimney system. It should not be used as a through-wall connector or exposed to outdoor weather conditions without proper protection. For outdoor sections or through-wall penetrations, you'll need to transition to double-wall or insulated chimney pipe systems that meet safety clearances and building code requirements for exterior installations.
