Imperial Mfg Group Usa Inc BM0079 Black Flue Reducer

Product Description

The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC BM0079 is a 24-gauge black flue reducer designed to transition from an 8-inch flue pipe down to a 6-inch flue pipe in single-wall black stove pipe venting systems. The small end is factory-crimped for easy insertion into the next pipe section without additional field modification. This reducer is sold in a package of 10 units, making it well-suited for contractors stocking up for multiple jobs. HVAC and hearth installers working on solid-fuel or gas appliance venting will find this reducer a standard component in B-vent and single-wall flue assemblies.

This reducer is used in residential and light commercial venting applications where a size transition is required between the appliance collar and the flue run. Typical installations include wood stoves, pellet stoves, and certain gas appliance venting setups that require a step-down from an 8-inch to a 6-inch diameter flue. The black finish is appropriate for exposed single-wall pipe installations where a clean, consistent appearance is needed throughout the vent system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC or hearth technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and appliance manufacturer venting requirements. Ensure the connected appliance is fully cooled and shut down before beginning work on any flue component. The crimped end inserts into the receiving pipe; secure all joints per local code, typically with sheet metal screws. Verify the reducer is appropriate for the connected appliance type and draft configuration before finalizing the installation.
