Excel Pipe FAQs - NEVER, EVER BUY ANOTHER STOVE PIPE



The ULTRABlack double wall stove pipe is designed to be used as a connector between a freestanding oil, wood or coal burning stove and a masonry or metal chimney and is available in 6", 7" & 8" diameters.
Designed to reduce the diameter of a system to accommodate a range of flue sizes, appliances and installations. Note: Decreasing chimney diameter even 1" can have a serious negative impact of chimney performance. Be careful to use these components only when appropriate.

The outer casing is constructed of Satin coat steel. Satin coat is attractive and durable when painted. ULTRABlack is painted with Forrest "Stove Bright" premium quality, high temperature paint to provide a rich appearance that complements your woodstove.

Hi-tech Performance - Old Fashioned Appearance
Double Wall Construction with a 3/8" air space between inner and outer pipes provides superior insulating value to single wall pipe. Better insulating value keeps flue gas temperatures higher. This helps your woodstove perform with an enhanced draft, which provides:

less chance for moisture or soot build up within the vent
reduced smoking of the stove at start up
increased efficiency
ULTRABlack not only keeps the flue temperatures higher, it keeps the outer pipe temperatures cooler. This allows ULTRABlack to be installed with only 6" clearance to combustible materials. Single wall stove pipe requires an 18" clearance, which typically means your wood stove sits further away from the wall and takes up valuable space within the room. Single Wall Stove Pipe should be replaced every 3 years!
Most attractive double wall product on the market; no unsightly slots or vents



Lifetime Warranty for ULTRABlack Chimney Connector.
ICC warrants its ULTRABlack chimney systems to be free from functional failure due to defects in material or workmanship for as long as the original consumer owns the chimney system. This warranty provides for replacement of any components which fail as a result of normal use on a residential freestanding fireplace, wood burning stove, furnace or boiler. This warranty does not cover damage caused to the building by chimney fires or misuse of the product.

ICC will only be responsible for repair or replacement of any components found to be defective under this warranty. In no event shall ICC be responsible for any incidental or consequential damage caused by defects in the ULTRABlack chimney system.

To obtain service under this warranty, the defective component should be returned to the dealer from whom it was purchased. If you are unable to return the component to the original dealer contact ICC for the name of the closest dealer who can assist you. ICC will not be responsible for shipping charges related to warranty replacements. ICC will repair or replace any components which, upon examination by an authorized agent of ICC, prove to be defective.

ICC will not be responsible for labor of any kind required in the removal or replacement of an ULTRABlack system replaced under this warranty.

This connector is designed to vent residential heating oil, untreated wood, low sulphur coal, and natural or LP gas. It is designed to operate at a continuous temperature of 650°C (1200°F) or less. This warranty is void if the component is used in an application for which it is not designed.

The ULTRABlack system must be installed according to the Installation Instructions included with every system at the time of purchase. If you do not have a set of installation instructions, they are available free upon request. This warranty is void if the connector is not installed according to the installation instructions.

This warranty may not be extended or modified by our agents or representatives. This warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties or guarantees, of any kind.

Only ULTRABlack is covered by a true, no questions asked, 100% full replacement, LIFETIME WARRANTY


Maximum allowable overall height:
There is no maximum requirement however, as a general guideline we recommend that the length of ULTRABlack not exceed 20 feet.

ULTRABlack assembles like a regular single wall stove pipe - no complicated, unsightly twist lock connectors or spot welds. There is no cutting required and all the screw holes are predrilled. Just put one piece on top of the other and screw together using the black oxide screws provided. Easily fits most stoves, including cast iron stoves and stoves with oval collars. ULTRABlack is approved for mobile home installation on most major stove brands, when installed with EXCEL insulated chimney. For mobile home installations follow the stove manufacturer’s installation instructions.

EXCEL ULTRABlack
Fully Shielded Stove pipe with smooth, clean lines:

Requires just 6" clearance to combustibles in all diameters - even when installed in a corner, or parallel with a ceiling*.
Has a smooth, clean appearance to compliment any stove installation.
Maximizes flue gas temperature, insuring good draft.
Minimizes creosote buildup.
* Some stoves may require greater clearances.

Typical Installations
Straight up installation
For most straight up installations, the only part required is an adjustable length (UBAF). The UBAF adjusts to allow any overall length from 40" to 68".

90° elbow installation
For most 90° elbow installations, you will only require an elbow (UB90) and an adjustable length (UBAF). If the height from the top of the stove to the top of the elbow is less than 48", you will require a short length plus a slip section (UBSF) for the vertical section of connector instead of the UBAF.

Damper installation (UBD)
The damper (UBD) allows you to control the air drawn through your chimney. As such, it controls your stove’s combustion. When the handle is in the horizontal position, the damper is closed, creating a restriction in the chimney as far as combustion gases are concerned, and reducing the combustion process inside the stove. (In the close position, the damper is still 20% open so as not to completely block the chimney).
