DuraVent CVS Increaser Tee with Cleanout: the turn from pellet pipe to concentric vent
The DuraVent CVS Increaser Tee with Cleanout is a tee that joins a pellet stove’s 3 inch single wall pipe to CVS. The side connection takes DuraVent PelletVent Pro pipe and turns the run 90 degrees into the larger tee body. CVS is DuraVent’s concentric vent: the exhaust runs up a 3 inch inner pipe while combustion air comes in through the 5 inch outer pipe around it. The bottom cap comes off for cleaning and attaches with the two included screws. You cannot extend the pipe below this tee. Choose a galvalume or painted black outer finish.
A pellet setup starts with a pellet adapter at the stove outlet and passes through a tee with cleaning access. An air intake manifold brings in outside air, connecting to the stove’s air inlet with 3 inch aluminum flex. Keep the pellet vent at least 1 inch from wood or anything else that can burn. Leave that gap empty, including insulation. Need the same transition without a turn? See the DuraVent CVS Pellet Adapter straight connector. The DuraVent CVS Increaser Tee with Cleanout ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
