DuraVent DuraBlack Stove Pipe Features
- Fixed and Telescoping Lengths: 24" and 48" fixed sections plus a telescoping piece spanning 44" to 68", so the run is sized on site with no cutting or crimping.
- Economical Single-Wall Connector: The cost-effective way to connect a wood stove to a manufactured chimney when you have the clearance for it. Roughly a third the cost of double wall for the same run.
- 24-Gauge Lock-Seamed Steel: Heavier than the thin stovepipe sold at hardware stores, with a lock-seamed body that holds its shape and resists warping through repeated heat cycles.
- Die-Formed End Fittings: Ends are die-formed rather than rolled, so sections seat squarely and stay tight. The drip-free design keeps condensed creosote inside the pipe rather than running out a seam onto the stove.
- Black Painted Finish: A clean finished black surface out of the box, no priming or painting needed, and it matches standard black stove bodies.

DuraVent DuraBlack FAQ
Do I need 18 inches of clearance for all of it?
Yes, the whole run. If any part of the path cannot hold 18 inches to a combustible, use double wall DVL instead, which drops the requirement to 6 inches.
Which way does the crimped end face?
Crimped end down, toward the stove. That keeps any condensed creosote inside the pipe instead of running out a seam onto the stove top.
How many screws per joint?
Three sheet metal screws evenly spaced at each joint is the standard practice, and most stove manuals call for it explicitly.
How far does this need to be from the wall?
18" to any combustible surface. If you cannot hold 18", use double wall DVL instead, which drops the requirement to 6". Never reduce clearance with a homemade heat shield unless your stove manual permits it.
Is single wall good enough, or should I pay for double wall?
Single wall is fine when you have the clearance and want to save money. Double wall drafts better, builds less creosote and fits tighter spaces. If the stove is in a corner or alcove, go double wall.
Can it pass through a wall or ceiling?
No. This is interior connector pipe only. Any penetration through a wall, ceiling or roof requires Class A chimney, joined to this pipe with a chimney adaptor.
How do I attach it to my stove?
Use the DuraBlack stovepipe adaptor (6DBK-AD) at the stove's flue collar. Sections should be secured with sheet metal screws, crimped end pointing down toward the stove so condensation stays inside the pipe.
