HomeChimney Caps & PipeBlack Stove Pipe   
 

Black stove pipe has a very specific use: 

  • Black Stove pipe connects a freestanding wood stove to the chimney
  • Cannot be used as a chimney system (inside walls or attic, or outside of the building), it cannot be used inside a masonry chimney as a chimney lining system. May only be used in the same room as the stove.
  • 24 guage is the minimum thickness recommended to provide a secure smoke passage to the chimney system.
  •  American Made

If your stove has an oddly sized flue outlet, it is most practical to use a pipe increaser to adapt the system to a standard pipe size that offers a greater selection of components. For example, if your stove's flue outlet is 5", install a 5" to 6" increaser which will allow you to use standard 6" diameter stove pipe to complete your installation. Reducing pipe size is not recommended; if a change in pipe size is necessary then increase the pipe size instead of reducing it.

ABOUT OVAL-TO-ROUND ADAPTERS
Diameter Circumference
We sell pipe by Diameter. If your pipe (or your stove's flue outlet) is an oval shape and you're not sure what diameter this equates to, then you may find it easier to measure the circumference of the pipe then translate that number to diameter for ease in ordering - See chart below. As the pipe is inserted to the inside of the stove's flue outlet, measure the INSIDE circumference of your flue outlet.

4" Diameter = 12.57" Circumference
5" Diameter = 15.70" Circumference
6" Diameter = 18.85" Circumference
7" Diameter = 22.00" Circumference
8" Diameter = 25.13" Circumference

Stove Pipe Tips Minimize

Tips for Installing Black Stove Pipe

- Put 3 screws into each pipe joint. This helps prevent the pipe from vibrating apart if a chimney fire occurs
- The crimped (male) end of the pipe always points TOWARD the stove; this keeps liquid creosote accumulation inside the pipe rather than allowing creosote to dribble outside the pipe! 
-The first piece of pipe attached to your stove must fit to the INSIDE of the stove's flue outlet.
 

- Match the stove pipe to the flue outlet size on your appliance; reducing the pipe size is not advised.
- Keep black pipe 18" from combustibles!
- Use the straightest run possible. Do not exceed 3' of horizontal pipe unless the stove manufacturer specifically ALLOWS you to!
- Provide 1/4" rise for every 1' of horizontal run. Never allow stove pipe to slope downwards.
- Don't use more than one 90 degree elbow
- When installing a rear vent stove, exit the stove with a tee, not an elbow. This helps contain creosote buildup in the drop port on the tee.
- When connecting black pipe to the wall thimble, the pipe should extend completely through the thimble into the flue, but not protrude into the flue.This keeps any creosote drip inside the flue.
- Black pipe can only be installed where it's visible in the room. This means it cannot be installed inside a fireplace or inside of a masonry chimney, inside a closet or attic, cannot be used as a wall pass-through.

  
 
THANKS! Minimize

I just received my black pipe boot (oval to round  six inch, item code BP6-OTR) and it fits my 1952 Warm Morning coal stove model 414 perfectly. Just FYI in case others inquire about finding that part for their model 414. Hard to find, but you had it. Easy online order and fast delivery.
 
Thank you.
