Hello- I wil be installing a small wood stove in my home. Can you tell me whether I need to use double walled or triple walled pipe. It will be passing through an attic and raised above the roof line.

Thanks

Welcome. You will need class A high temp pipe for the chimney. This can come in double or triple wall configuration. For example: DuraVent's DuraPlus is their value line, it is triple wall, 6" pipe is 10" OD. Their premium line is DuraTech which is double-wall and 8" OD. Even if you don't use their pipe, DuraVent has good installation instructions on their website that are worth downloading. It's listed on the literature tab. http://www.duravent.com/Product.aspx?hProduct=1

Note that double-wall chimney is not to be confused with double or single wall connector pipe (aka stove pipe). That would be DuraVent DSP in their product line.
