Class A Pipe Part # Comparison

[amkazen]

Hi,

I am looking for help in comparing the Home Depot part numbers to what was specced out by a local shop.

I received my quote from the local fireplace store that sold me my woodstove. I was shocked at the quote to provide the class A pipe, deliver the stove, and install everything. I learned from Selkirk they manufacture the pipe sold by Menards, Lowe's, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, Northern Tool, etc. Doing my research I learned I could buy the pipe specified by the local store at Home Depot and save $2,900. I buy from a local store 95% of the time as I believe it is the right thing to do. However, in this case I just can't justify spending $2,900 more so I am looking for assistance to ensure I do have the correct pipe to be purchased at Home Depot. The part numbers are not all the same but using the description I believe I have the correct part numbers and style/model line of pipe to ensure they all match & fit together. Can someone ensure I did find an equivalent or better part (triple vs double wall) at Home Depot to what was specced out by the local shop? This is a 2-story house over a fully finished basement built on a west down to the east slope. The house runs north-south as does the roof ridge line, and there is a an approximate 18" - 24" roof overhang. There is a deck on the first floor that is the same level as the first floor; no step up or down out of the house. The wood stove is going to be installed in the NE corner of the living room on the first floor on an exterior wall. Above the living room is a bedroom, and the roof pitch is approx. 4/12 with an attic (no trusses, has rafters and a ridge beam). The plan is to have the pipe come out the top of the wood stove, exit thru the exterior wall, and then go vertical along the side of the house thru the roof overhang, ending 3 feet above the roof. The local shop specced out five 48" sections of straight pipe but Home Depot does not sell an equivalent 48" pipe. Therefore, I went with seven 36" sections and it was still less expensive. I have only decided to buy the pipe at Home Depot and to pick the stove up myself using a trailer, and I will enlist the help of friends to get the stove into the house. I am looking to find a independent wood stove installer as I doubt the local shop will install the stove if I buy the pipe somewhere else, but I will ask. Thank you for comparing the Home Depot part numbers to what was specced out.

I think we're going to need some pics to see the stove location and outside your house. There are more than several things that have to be looked at.

First, pics of the location where the stove and connector/ stove pipe are going and the exterior of the house where the chimney will be going.

Second, what stove do you have? Make and Model and is it new? Do you have the manual?

Third, you need to double check the stove store measurements and parts. (I recently had a chimney priced and realized that they had quoted an additional 4 foot chimney pipe and roof bracket that I didn't need)

I read that you also mentioned triple wall chimney pipe. We also need to know if your connector/ stove pipe is single wall or double wall.

I think once we get all that we will be able to help you sort it all out.

Hi, Attached are the pictures as requested.

The living room floor will be finished by 12/10/2025 and the brand-new Kuma Applewood stove is scheduled to be delivered on 12/16/2025. It will be placed between the window where the router is sitting and the corner of the room, facing straight out. It is 55.5" between the vertical window trim and the corner of the wall. It is a 8' ceiling.

The exterior is the north side of the house and shows the deck being built and the deck will be finished in 3 days. The plan is for the pipe to be attached to the side of the house, going vertical along the rain gutter. The reason the deck posts are so tall is because next summer there will be a roof built over the deck and the posts are to support the roof. The stove is 22.5" W x 37.0 H x 20.375" D with a 6" flue.

I was told that inside the house single-wall pipe was appropriate to use from the stove up to the wall thimble so that makes me think the connector is single wall pipe. I do see single wall pipe specced out on my quote so I guess the connector is actually single wall pipe. At that point double-wall had to be used thru the wall and up the exterior of the house due to the need to keep the flue gasses how.

As for the triple wall pipe, I only mentioned it because I was told that double-wall pipe is insulated and helps with the cold and keeping the gasses inside the pipe hot and rising up. When I was talking with Selkirk tech support I was reviewing Home Depot's web site and came across the Selkirk triple wall pipe they sell, the DuraPlus. Well, if double wall insulated pipe helps with keeping the cold away from the rising hot flue gasses wouldn't triple wall pipe be an even better help & pipe to use? My impression is so far that you can use triple wall pipe in place of both single and double wall pipe, and that double wall pipe can be used in place of single wall pipe, but single wall pipe cannot replace either double or triple wall pipe.

5" is the clearance between the back of the stove and the wall, and 7.5" is the clearance from the side of the stove. There are two optional side shelves we bought that are 7.125" wide, making the stove actually 36.75" wide. I am unsure how the side clearance of 7.5" is impacted by the shelves; does the one side shelf itself have to be 7.5" from the side wall? I need to call Kuma to get that answer. However, thinking about it, there will be 9.375" on either side of both shelves since the stove will be centered between the window & the corner wall.

Thank you for the help.

Here is the manual for your stove (just in case you didn't save it. It lists all the clearances and hearth specifications as well as what they want for a chimney. Take some time and read through that manual. It will be your best friend for installing the stove and for using your stove.
Kuma Applewood Manual

There are diagrams for the clearances and every manufacturer is a bit different. It looks like they are measuring clearances from the side of the stove and not the shelves. You should be fine with side clearances as you specified. The hearth requirements will include the R value if protection from heat is required. But it appears they only want ember protection. The size requirements for the hearth are also listed. Also look at the manufacturer of the stovepipe and chimney pipe and download their specifications. Should be on the home depot page. It will include the clearances for the pipe. If there is a conflict go with the greater clearance. You can never go wrong with more clearance than required.

Single wall stovepipe is uninsulated. Double wall stovepipe uses an airgap. There are two types of chimney pipe, double and triple wall. Stovepipe and chimney pipe are two different things. Just want to be sure that you're on the same page with me.

You are comparing very different chimneys. They quoted you duratech which is dura's premium line of pipe. Your pricing out duraplus their cheapest option which is triple wall and has half the insulation. I absolutely would not recommend duraplus

On the same page - I am just hoping someone with more knowledge than me can look at was specced, and tell me if the Home Depot parts I found will substitute for what was specced.

They can substitute but it is a very inferior product.

This is good info. However, although DuraPlus may be the cheapest option if it will not burn my house down and it is $2,900 less expensive than the top of the line, then I have to go with the less expensive option. Otherwise, my stove that is paid for will sit in the corner of the living room unused and looking pretty. I am just hoping someone with more knowledge than me can look at was specced, and tell me if the Home Depot parts I found will substitute for what was specced.
