Imperial BM0085 8 Inch 24 Gauge Black Cleanout Tee

Product Description

The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC BM0085 is a single-wall black stovepipe cleanout tee joint designed for use in solid-fuel and wood-burning appliance venting systems. Constructed from 24-gauge black steel, this tee provides a branch connection in a vent run while allowing access for ash and debris removal. The tee ships without a cap, so a compatible cleanout cap must be sourced separately if needed. At 8 inches in diameter, it fits standard single-wall black stovepipe of the same size. Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or chimney professionals working on residential heating appliances.

This tee is used in residential venting applications for wood stoves, pellet stoves, and similar solid-fuel heating appliances that require single-wall black stovepipe. It is placed in the vent run where periodic cleanout access is required, allowing the installer to remove accumulated soot and creosote without disassembling the entire vent system. The 8-inch diameter suits larger residential or light-commercial heating appliances with correspondingly sized flue outlets. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment component for 8-inch single-wall black stovepipe venting systems used with solid-fuel heating appliances.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or chimney professional in accordance with local building codes and the appliance manufacturer's venting instructions. Shut down and allow the heating appliance to cool completely before working on any section of the vent system. Single-wall black stovepipe is typically used only in interior, above-appliance vent runs and must not be used as a chimney connector through combustible walls or ceilings without proper thimbles and clearances as required by the IFGC and NFPA 211. Do not install this tee without a cap or cleanout plug in service, as an open tee will allow combustion gases to escape into the living space.
