TELESCOPIC SINGLE WALL BLACK PIPE - 7"Ø (14"-22"L) SP00051

This single wall stove pipe requires a minimum of 18 inches clearance to combustible materials such as walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. This clearance can be reduced by up to two-thirds (down to approximately 6 inches) if you install a proper UL-listed heat shield between the pipe and the combustible surface. Always follow local building codes and the stove manufacturer's installation instructions for specific clearance requirements.

No, single wall stove pipe is designed for interior use only and cannot penetrate walls, ceilings, or any other structural barriers. When your venting system needs to pass through a ceiling or wall, you must transition to insulated chimney pipe (such as Class A chimney pipe) using the appropriate adapter fittings. Single wall pipe is only used to connect your stove to the chimney system within the same room.

Each joint in your stove pipe installation must be properly secured to prevent separation and ensure safe operation. You can secure the telescoping pipe using either stove pipe clamps (recommended for easier future disassembly) or three high-temperature self-tapping screws evenly spaced around the joint. When connecting sections, ensure a minimum overlap of 1.5 inches between pipes, and always install with the male (crimped) end pointing down toward the stove to prevent creosote drips from leaking out.

The 22-gauge steel is significantly thicker and more durable than the 24-gauge alternatives commonly found at big box stores, providing superior structural integrity and longer service life. Welded seams create a much stronger, more attractive assembly compared to clip-on or snap-lock designs, which can separate over time with repeated heating and cooling cycles. The welded construction also provides better resistance to warping and ensures consistent performance throughout the life of the pipe.

You should inspect and clean your stove pipe at least once per year, typically at the beginning of the heating season, or more frequently if you burn wood with high creosote production. The telescoping design makes removal easy - simply disconnect the securing screws or clamps at each joint, then carefully slide the sections apart. Clean the interior using a proper flue brush sized for 7-inch pipe, removing all creosote and soot buildup. Always allow the pipe to cool completely before attempting removal or cleaning.

This single wall stove pipe is designed for use with wood-burning stoves and is also compatible with oil and gas appliances as specified by the appliance manufacturer. However, it should not be used with coal-burning stoves, as coal produces different combustion byproducts and temperatures that may exceed the pipe's design specifications. For pellet stoves, consult your pellet stove manufacturer's instructions, as many require specific venting systems designed for pellet appliance exhaust.

The limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions when the stove pipe is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and applicable building codes. This warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in their premium 22-gauge welded construction. The warranty typically covers replacement parts for manufacturing defects but does not cover damage from improper installation, misuse, over-firing, or normal wear from regular use. Contact the manufacturer or authorized dealer for specific warranty claim procedures and coverage details.

The telescoping design eliminates the time-consuming tasks of measuring, cutting, and hand-crimping that are required with fixed-length pipe sections. This 8-inch adjustment range (from 14 to 22 inches) allows you to achieve a perfect fit between your stove and chimney connection without custom fabrication, accommodating variations in ceiling heights or stove positioning. The telescoping feature also makes it easier to remove the pipe for seasonal cleaning and maintenance, then reinstall it to the exact same fit. This convenience saves installation time and ensures professional-looking results even for DIY installers.
