Imperial Mfg Group Usa Inc BM0047 Black Starter Joint

Product Description

The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC BM0047 is a black starter joint designed for single-wall stovepipe and vent duct assemblies. Measuring 6 inches by 6 inches and formed from 24-gauge steel, this fitting serves as the initial connecting piece between a heating appliance collar and the first run of vent pipe. Both ends are crimped, allowing the joint to slip into adjoining pipe sections without additional modification. It ships in a package of 6 units. Installers working on wood stoves, pellet appliances, or solid-fuel heating systems will find this fitting appropriate for starting a vent run from the appliance outlet.

This starter joint is used in residential and light-commercial solid-fuel heating installations where single-wall black stovepipe is the specified vent material. It is suited for connecting directly to the appliance flue collar and transitioning into the main vent stack. The crimped ends on both sides simplify assembly and reduce the need for additional field modifications during installation.

• 6 inches by 6 inches nominal size for standard stovepipe applications
• 24-gauge steel construction for durability in vent service
• Black finish consistent with single-wall stovepipe systems

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation of stovepipe and vent fittings should be performed by a qualified installer familiar with NFPA 211 and local mechanical codes. Allow the appliance and any connected vent components to cool completely before handling or replacing fittings. Maintain required clearances to combustibles as specified by the appliance manufacturer and applicable code. Do not use single-wall black stovepipe in applications that require listed double-wall or Type B vent systems.
