The DuraVent DuraTech 5-Inch Stainless Steel Chimney Pipe, part number 5DT-48SS, is a 48-inch length section of DuraTech double-wall all-fuel Class A chimney pipe with a 5-inch inner diameter and stainless steel outer casing.
At 48 inches nominal length, the 5DT-48SS is one of the two longest standard sections available in the DuraTech 5-inch stainless steel range and is the most efficient standard section for covering long unobstructed vertical runs with the fewest joint connections — each 5DT-48SS section contributes four feet of nominal height while requiring only one connection point in the run.
The 5-inch inner diameter and 1-inch double-wall construction produce the system-standard 7-inch outer diameter.
The DuraTech double-wall construction of the 5DT-48SS 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 consistent draft while keeping the outer wall cool, reducing 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. Twist-lock connections require no locking bands or mechanical fasteners, and the 1-inch wall design allows installation through standard 16-inch on-center framing.
The 5DT-48SS nominally contributes 48 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 46-3/4 inches per section. The 5DT-48SS is also available in the 5DT-48SSCF variant which includes additional protective carton filler for shipping.
The 5DT-48SS is listed to UL 103 HT and the Canadian S610 standard, and carries a DuraVent limited lifetime warranty when installed by a qualified professional installer.
