Imperial Mfg GV1604 Galvanized Furnace Pipe 3x24 in 26GA

Product Description

The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC GV1604 is a 26-gauge galvanized steel furnace pipe section measuring 3 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length. This straight pipe section is used in single-wall metal vent connector systems that route combustion exhaust from gas or oil-fired heating appliances to the flue or chimney. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this type of vent connector as part of Category I appliance venting during new installations or service replacements. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for residential and light commercial venting applications. Each order includes 10 pipe sections.

This pipe section is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial gas furnace or boiler venting systems where single-wall Type B-style vent connectors are called for. Typical install scenarios include connecting the flue outlet of a gas furnace or water heater to an existing chimney or B-vent riser. The 3-inch diameter is a common size for mid-range residential furnaces and water heaters. Installers working on vent connector runs use multiple sections to achieve the required connector length per appliance manufacturer and code specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of furnace vent connector pipe must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and applicable local mechanical codes. Always shut down the appliance and allow the system to cool before disconnecting or replacing any vent connector sections. Single-wall vent connectors require specific clearances to combustible materials as defined by the appliance manufacturer and local code — verify clearance requirements before routing the connector run. Secure all joints with sheet metal screws and inspect for proper overlap and slope toward the appliance.
