6" VORTEX WALL FINISHING BAND VOD0150

The VOD0150 wall finishing band provides a professional, finished appearance when connecting Vortex double wall black stove pipe to 2100 chimney pipe at cathedral support boxes or wall pass-through installations. It creates a clean transition between your interior stove pipe and exterior chimney system while maintaining proper clearances and safety standards. The trim collar conceals the connection point for an aesthetically pleasing installation.

The VOD0150 is designed specifically for 6-inch Vortex double wall stove pipe systems and works with all major brands including Drolet, Century, Englander, and Osburn wood stoves. It's engineered to connect with 2100 chimney pipe at wall penetrations. Always use only Vortex components together - do not mix with other manufacturers' products to ensure proper fit, safety compliance, and warranty coverage.

The VOD0150 requires a minimum clearance of 6 inches to combustible side walls and ceilings when used with standard Vortex double wall pipe sections. If your assembled pipe section has no adjustable length components, clearances may be reduced to 5 inches. These reduced clearances are a significant advantage over single-wall stove pipe, which requires 18 inches clearance. Always verify local building codes and follow NFPA 211 guidelines.

The VOD0150 features a premium dual-wall construction with a 28-gauge 304 stainless steel inner wall and a 24-gauge powder-coated steel outer wall. The stainless steel inner wall incorporates an exclusive thermal weave pattern that promotes even airflow and maintains lower outer wall temperatures. All components are precision-assembled using laser welding for strong, durable, and discreet joints, then finished with a metallic black powder coat for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.

Installation involves securing the wall finishing band at the junction where your interior double wall stove pipe meets the 2100 chimney pipe at a cathedral support box or wall pass-through. Use a minimum of three #8 x 1/2" self-drilling screws to fasten the band securely. Ensure all connections are solid and maintain required clearances to combustibles. The easy-to-connect design simplifies installation, but always consult the manufacturer's installation manual and consider hiring a professional installer for proper setup.

The VOD0150 comes with a limited lifetime warranty for residential installations covering manufacturing defects when properly installed. The warranty applies only to the original purchaser and requires that the system be used exclusively with certified residential wood-burning appliances (wood stove, fireplace, furnace, or boiler) at temperatures not exceeding 650°C (1,200°F). Annual cleaning and inspection by a chimney professional is required to maintain warranty coverage. The warranty is void if mixed with other manufacturers' components or used in non-residential applications.

The VOD0150 is designed to operate safely at maximum continuous temperatures up to 650°C (1,200°F), making it suitable for high-efficiency wood-burning appliances. The exclusive thermal weave technology in the stainless steel inner wall helps maintain lower outer wall temperatures while the inner wall reaches operating temperatures. This temperature rating meets all UL 103 HT standards and ensures safe, reliable performance when used with properly operated wood stoves, fireplaces, and other solid fuel appliances.

The VOD0150 and your entire double wall connector pipe system must be cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified chimney professional, with intervals not exceeding 12 months between inspections. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous creosote buildup, ensures optimal draft performance, and maintains warranty coverage. During inspection, the professional should check all joints, clearances, and structural integrity. If you notice excessive smoke, poor draft, or visible damage, have the system inspected immediately before further use.
