The DuraVent DuraTech 5-Inch Stainless Steel Chimney Pipe, part number 5DT-06SS, is a 6-inch length section of DuraTech double-wall all-fuel Class A chimney pipe with a 5-inch inner diameter and stainless steel outer casing.
The 5DT-06SS is the shortest standard pipe section available in the DuraTech 5-inch stainless steel range and plays a critical planning role in chimney run calculations — it provides the smallest standard nominal increment for fine-tuning the total installed height of a DuraTech 5-inch chimney run after all longer pipe sections and joint overlap deductions have been accounted for. Where a chimney run requires only a few additional inches of height to meet the total planned installed length, the 6-inch section provides that final increment without requiring cutting of a longer section.
The DuraTech double-wall construction of the 5DT-06SS features an inner wall of .020-inch 430 stainless steel and an outer wall of .016-inch 430 stainless steel, with DuraVent's Thermal Tech ceramic refractory blanket insulation encased between the two walls.
The Thermal Tech insulation maintains high flue gas temperatures inside the pipe for strong draft performance while keeping the outer wall cool, reducing the required clearance to combustibles to a minimum of 2 inches. The inner wall is 25 percent thicker than competitive chimney products for an additional margin of safety.
The twist-lock connection requires no locking bands or mechanical fasteners. The 5DT-06SS nominally contributes 6 inches to a DuraTech chimney run — to calculate its actual installed length contribution, subtract 1-1/4 inches for the joint overlap at its connection point, giving an installed length contribution of approximately 4-3/4 inches.
The 5DT-06SS carries a DuraVent limited lifetime warranty when installed by a qualified professional installer and is listed to UL 103 HT and ULC S604.
What's Included: One DuraVent 5DT-06SS DuraTech 5-inch inner diameter, 6-inch length, double-wall stainless steel chimney pipe section.
Installation Limits: Minimum 2-inch clearance to combustibles required at all points. Subtract 1-1/4 inches per joint overlap to calculate installed length. For use with appliances tested and listed for a 2,100°F HT chimney system only. DuraVent limited lifetime warranty applies only when installed by a qualified professional installer — licensed contractor, CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep, NFI Certified Specialist, or WETT Certified Professional. All installation must comply with local building codes and the DuraTech installation instructions.
Compatibility: Compatible with the DuraVent DuraTech 5-inch Class A double-wall all-fuel chimney system. For use with wood stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, boilers, ranges, water heaters, and other appliances fueled by wood, oil, coal, or gas that are tested and listed for use with a 2,100°F HT chimney system.
