6" X 18"L VORTEX DOUBLE WALL BLACK PIPE VOD0007

The VOD0007 double wall stove pipe requires only 6 inches of clearance to wall combustibles and 8 inches from the top of a horizontal run to ceiling combustibles. This is significantly reduced from the 18-inch clearance required by single-wall stove pipe, making it ideal for installations in tighter spaces, mobile homes, or anywhere close-clearance venting is needed.

No, the VOD0007 is a connector pipe designed for interior, exposed use only. It should never be used as a full chimney system or routed through walls, ceilings, floors, or roofs. This pipe connects your wood-burning stove to a proper Class-A chimney system (like DuraTech or DuraPlus) or to a masonry chimney through an approved wall thimble or ceiling support box.

The stainless steel inner wall features an exclusive thermal weave design that promotes even airflow in the air space between the double walls. This technology keeps the outer wall temperature lower for safety while maintaining higher inner wall temperatures. The result is improved draft, faster heat-up times, longer heat retention, reduced creosote formation, and overall better stove performance and efficiency.

Installation is straightforward and requires minimal tools. The pipe features pre-drilled holes and comes with included screws for secure connections. You'll need a basic screwdriver to attach the sections together. No cutting, crimping, or special tools are required, making it accessible for DIY installation following manufacturer guidelines and local building codes.

The VOD0007 is designed for wood-burning appliances with a 6-inch flue collar. It's compatible with most wood stoves, wood-burning fireplaces, and similar appliances that require 6-inch diameter venting. Always verify your appliance specifications and consult the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure proper compatibility and safe installation according to code requirements.

This double wall stove pipe is certified to meet multiple rigorous safety and performance standards including NFPA 211 (Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents), CSA B365 (Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances), UL 103 HT (Factory-Built Chimneys for Residential Type and Building Heating Appliances), and ULCS629 standards. These certifications ensure the pipe meets strict requirements for safe, code-compliant operation.

Laser welding provides superior joint strength compared to traditional welding methods. The precision laser welding creates discreet, solid, and highly durable connections between all components of the pipe system. These joints are resistant to separation, thermal stress, and wear over time, ensuring long-lasting performance and maintaining the integrity of the venting system throughout years of regular use.

It's not recommended to paint or modify the factory powder coat finish. The metallic black powder coat is specifically formulated to resist high temperatures, provide corrosion protection, and maintain its appearance during regular operation. Painting or modifying the finish may compromise these protective properties, void warranties, and potentially create safety hazards. The powder coat is designed to provide both aesthetic appeal and functional protection as-is.
