Create a cleaner, safer transition where your stove pipe meets a wall or ceiling with stove pipe collars at Ace Hardware. These finishing and connection pieces help cover pass‑through openings, align components and pair with listed venting parts to support proper clearances and weather protection where required.
What Are Stove Pipe Collars?
Stove pipe collars are rings or short sleeves that finish and connect sections where a pipe meets a wall thimble, ceiling support or chimney adapter. They improve the finished look around cutouts, help conceal small gaps and, when used with the correct listed system components, support a tidy, code‑conscious installation.
Types of Collars and Where They’re Used
Different installations require specific collar designs to ensure proper function and code compliance.
- Storm collars: Feature adjustable flanges that accommodate various roof pitches while creating watertight seals around the pipe exterior.
- Starting collars: Provide the foundation connection point where your stove pipe begins its journey through structural elements.
- Trim collars: Offer finishing touches that conceal rough openings while maintaining professional appearances.
Key Stove Pipe Collar Features and Materials
A few details make selection and installation easier and more durable.
- Material and finish: Galvanized steel offers dependable strength, while stainless steel adds corrosion resistance in coastal or high‑moisture areas. Black, matte black and galvanized finishes coordinate with common pipe systems.
- Size compatibility: Choose the collar that matches your pipe’s outside diameter and the brand or series of your venting system for a proper fit.
- Adjustability and overlap: Two‑piece or adjustable collars help cover slight variations around openings and provide a snug, professional look.
- Weather management: For roof penetrations, use flashing matched to roof pitch and a storm collar above the flashing. Where the manufacturer specifies, seal the top edge of the storm collar to the pipe with high‑temperature exterior sealant.
How to Choose the Right Flue Collar
Before you buy, a few quick checks help ensure a smooth install.
- Identify your system: Confirm single‑wall or double‑wall stovepipe indoors, and the brand or series of chimney pipe used for through‑roof runs.
- Measure carefully: Verify the pipe outside diameter and the opening you want to cover. Dry‑fit to confirm clearance to combustibles is maintained by the listed thimble or support.
- Match components: Pair trim collars with wall thimbles or support boxes from the same system. Use the storm collar that matches your chimney pipe size above roof flashing.
- Plan the finish: Choose a finish that complements your stove and other vent parts for a cohesive look.
