Always verify that increasing the vent diameter is approved for your specific heating appliance before installation.

A. The Imperial BM0059 should be used only when the appliance manufacturer specifically allows a transition from a 5-inch connector pipe to a 6-inch venting system.

It is commonly installed when connecting compatible appliances to an existing 6-inch chimney or vent system that meets all applicable installation requirements. Proper sizing is important for maintaining safe draft and efficient stove performance.

Always follow the appliance installation manual and local building codes before changing vent diameters.

A. No. The Imperial BM0059 is designed to provide a proper pipe transition and does not increase the heating output of the appliance.

Its purpose is to safely connect two compatible pipe diameters within an approved venting system. Overall stove performance depends on correct appliance sizing, chimney design, vent height, and installation practices rather than the increaser itself.

Using an increaser where it is not approved may negatively affect draft and appliance operation.

A. Yes. The Imperial BM0059 is designed to fit between compatible 5-inch and 6-inch stove pipe sections as part of a complete venting system.

Proper orientation, secure fastening, and correct overlap between pipe sections are important for dependable operation. Installation should always follow the appliance manufacturer's venting instructions.

If the installation involves an existing chimney system or unusual vent layout, consulting a qualified installer is recommended.

A. No. The Imperial BM0059 is intended for exposed interior stove pipe connector systems only and must not be used to pass through walls, ceilings, attics, or concealed spaces.

Where venting passes through combustible construction, approved insulated chimney components and listed wall-pass-through or ceiling-support assemblies are required instead.

Following these installation requirements helps maintain safe clearances and code-compliant venting.

A. The Imperial BM0059 is manufactured from durable steel with a black finish designed to match standard black stove pipe systems.

The steel construction provides dependable performance in normal residential heating applications while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the exposed connector system. The black finish also complements most wood stove installations.

Replace the component if excessive wear or damage is found.

A. The Imperial BM0059 provides a properly manufactured transition between 5-inch and 6-inch stove pipe without field modifications.

Using a purpose-built increaser helps maintain proper pipe fit, secure joints, and a professional appearance throughout the venting system. Improvised transitions may compromise vent performance and create installation problems.

Selecting the correct factory-made adapter helps simplify installation while supporting safe venting practices.

A. Yes. The Imperial BM0059 is well suited for homeowners, cabin owners, contractors, and professional installers who need an approved 5-inch to 6-inch stove pipe transition.

It provides a reliable solution for compatible venting systems while maintaining the appearance and integrity of the connector pipe installation. Its durable construction makes it suitable for both new installations and replacement projects.

Always confirm that the appliance manufacturer permits the use of a 5-inch to 6-inch vent increaser before installation.
