Never use “regular” single wall or double wall stove pipe for pellet stoves or inserts. Burning pellets causes a more corrosive environment and “regular” stove pipe will not last.Click to see full answer. Hereof, do you need double wall pipe for a pellet stove?A pellet stove requires outdoor venting through a pipe. This can be chimney pipe as long as it meets certain requirements. The pipe must be double-walled, with an inner lining of stainless steel. It must also be sealed at the joints so that carbon monoxide and other exhaust cannot leak into the home.Secondly, how far can you run pellet stove pipe? Most pellet stoves have a 3-inch vent pipe at the exhaust of the unit. If this exhaust will be run more than 15 feet (right angle elbows count as 5 feet), then the exhaust should be run through 4-inch pipe. Furthermore, what kind of chimney do I need for a pellet stove? No, you do not need a traditional stone or brick chimney in order to install a pellet stove in your home. With that said, pellet stoves do require specific venting. To learn more about the code requirements for your area, contact your nearest authorized Harman dealer.What type of stove pipe do I need?Standard Single. Single-wall stove pipe is used on standard wood stove installations. It should be at least 24-gauge sheet metal or thicker — the lower the gauge, the thicker the metal. Typical code requires that single-wall stove pipe maintain at least an 18-inch clearance from any combustible material.
