What temperature will single black stove pipe withstand?

Question

I am installing a woodstove using single wall black stove pipe and I am wondering basically how hot the stove pipe will get? ALSO the morter they use to build a fireplace..how long does it take for that to fully cure? And what temps will that withstand?

Is it true that the stove pipe will expand and contract in size with heat?

Answer 1

the pipe will wistand just about anything you can throw at it, its the roof where the pipe exits out that cant. usually you dont want to venture past 700 degress. the mortar can usually go right up to 3000-4000 degrees depending on whats in it. average temp range for your stove should be kept between 400-600, anything above or below isnt all that comfortable

Answer 2

All the aboves are right, including the fact that building codes require you to use double-walled heat-proof pipe when going through walls, ceiling, and roof. I believe the single-wall pipe must be kept at least a foot from the walls as well, since there's going to be a lot of heat coming off it. Today, codes are pretty strict in regards to indoor wood burning, whether it's a fireplace or free-standing stove. Those things are all notorious for starting house fires. So keep it safe and check the codes.

Fireplace heat-proof mortar takes a day or so to dry, just like any other concrete. Once it's dry, the first fire should cure it. The packaging should tell you what temps it'll withstand.

Black Wood Stove Pipe

Answer 4

The temps stated are pretty accurate. A single black pipe can withstand any woodfire heat output. It is true that steel expands when hot but the amount of expansion is so small its not an issue. If the pipe goes through a ceiling and roof or walls , it must be double walled pipe to prevent fires. Standard mortar cures enough to use in a week.

The stove should have come with directions. Every stove I have ever installed was with the crimped end towards the stove. Never had any problems. You might get a vary, vary small amount of smoke at first. If you put the crimp away from the stove creosote will run down the outside of the pipe, and could catch on fire. Then you will have plenty of smoke and fire in your house. Google Installing wood stove pipe. Shawnd51 is so wrong. Solid fuel exhaust Pipes are totally different from Oil or Gas exhaust pipes.

Answer 6

I couldn't say how hot the pipe will be, but it's probably in the neighborhood of 700F or so. The fireplace mortar for wood stoves protect up to temps of 2000F. The link below shows a product that needs to be fired immediately to cure the mortar.

Answer 7

Before u do anything, i did not know that a stove and or chimney pipe used today is single wall, code may require a double wall vent pipe with a firewall stop metal piece.

Answer 8

From what you have discribed you need to have a crimped end to go into the chimney and a chrimped end into your stove. Most Heating and plumbing suppliers can crimp stovepipe for you or expand a standard size pipe so it will fit around your stove's exhaust Haveing this done will alow you to have your pipe fit around the outside on the stove and fit inside the chimney.
