6" x 36" DuraPlus Stainless Steel Chimney Pipe - 6DP-36SSCF

6' x 36' DuraPlus Stainless Steel Chimney Pipe

The purpose of a chimney pipe is to remove harmful byproducts of the combusted, or burned, fuel from inside your home. If the byproducts are not properly ventilated from inside the home, then you can have a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide.

DuraPlus Chimney is a triple-wall, all-fuel chimney for use with wood stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, boilers, stoves, ranges, water heaters, or other appliances fueled by wood, oil, coal, or gas.

DuraPlus is designed to stay cool on the outside, provide a hot draft on the inside, boost stove efficiency, and provide a fire-safe design that protects both the chimney and the building. This triple-wall chimney features two insulating layers (ceramic blanket, plus air space). The ceramic blanket insulation is held securely in position, eliminating hot spots common with loose-fill type insulations. In the event of a creosote fire, the compressible blanket insulation permits the chimney liner to expand outwardly in a radial direction. Designed for normal, continuous operation at 1000° F flue gas temperatures, DuraPlus is subjected to rigorous and stringent HT requirements of the UL standard, including one hour at 1400° F, plus three ten-minute chimney fire tests at 2100° F.

DuraPlus components make for easy installations offering a precision twist-lock connection that secures without the use of gaskets or sealants. Safety and efficiency of the chimney is maintained after the installation with a 2" minimum clearance to combustibles.

How it works:

The chimney system allows your stove or fireplace to exhaust flue gases while a draft creates the draw that pulls fresh combustion air into the stove. A well-balanced system provides an even, hot fire when it has a good draft. The draft suction keeps smoke from coming into the room. Insulation in the chimney pipe is important because it helps keep the exhaust hot until it is expelled outside. Heat in the chimney creates a draft, which pulls in more combustion air. This creates a hotter fire, delivering more heat to the chimney, and resulting in more drafts. The size of the flue is important for the system to work efficiently. The appliance manufacturer's installation instructions will indicate how to size the flue to match the stove's flue collar. The stovepipe connects to the stove. It is the usual black interior pipe that transitions from the stove to the chimney pipe with an adapter. It is not insulated and cannot penetrate ceilings or walls. A chimney pipe is an insulated pipe that is rated to pass through walls and ceilings. In addition to the chimney pipe, supports to hold the system in place, and shields to protect areas from combusting, are needed for the system. The flashing, storm collar, and chimney cap are required to seal the system from moisture penetration.

All stove and chimney pipe are classified and categorized by the inside diameter. If you aren't sure what size you need measure the inside of your flue opening across from inside to inside. If your measurement is 6" then you will purchase all 6" pipe for your installation. We offer DuraPlus ranging in sizes from 6" up to 8" inside Diameter.

What is the difference between a chimney pipe and a stove pipe?

Many confuse the terms. Stove pipe is usually painted black galvanized steel and is used in the interior of the home until you transition through a wall or ceiling then class A chimney pipe is used thereon. Stove pipe, black pipe, and single wall pipe all refer to the same thing. Chimney pipe, class A pipe, triple-wall pipe, and insulated pipe all refer to class A chimney pipe.

What is class a chimney pipe?

Class A chimney pipe has many names, often referred to as double-wall chimney pipe, triple-wall chimney pipe, all-fuel pipe, or insulated chimney pipe. Class A pipe is used to vent high-temperature exhaust released from wood, coal, and oil-burning appliances such as fireplaces, stoves, boilers, and furnaces.

Not every venting system requires a Class A pipe, but it is absolutely necessary for use with all wood-burning fireplaces and stoves.

Class A chimney pipe is UL-listed, which permits its use with a range of different vent pipe manufactured by other fabricators and an even wider variety of fireplaces, stoves, inserts, and furnaces. However, it is important to note that you should never mix and match different brands of Class A chimney pipe within one chimney system unless specifically allowed by the manufacturer. The different brands of pipe are all distinctly engineered and must be used as a complete system from beginning to end.

If you are looking to extend or redesign your current chimney system, you need to know the make and model of your existing Class A pipe and purchase the same type, if possible. Unfortunately, if your existing make and model of pipe is a discontinued or obsolete brand, you will likely need to completely reinstall your chimney system.

How wide is triple wall stove pipe?

This depends on the diameter of the pipe. If you have 6" pipe, 6" is your inside diameter. For 6" through 8" pipe, you will add 4" to the inside diameter to get your outside diameter. For this particular pipe your outside diameter will be 10".
