Description
The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC BM0031 is a black stovepipe tee cap designed to close off the branch opening of an 8-inch tee fitting in single-wall black stovepipe systems. Constructed to 24-gauge steel specifications, this cleanout cap allows technicians to access the tee for inspection and debris removal while maintaining a sealed vent path during normal operation. It is a standard component in solid-fuel and wood-burning appliance venting assemblies. HVAC and hearth technicians install this cap as part of routine vent system builds and service work.
This tee cap is used in residential venting applications where single-wall black stovepipe connects a wood stove, pellet stove, or similar solid-fuel appliance to a class A chimney system. It fits the branch outlet of an 8-inch tee and serves as the access point for cleanout during creosote removal and annual inspections. The cap is sold in a package quantity of 12 units, making it suitable for stocking by service shops and HVAC distributors.

- Black finish matches standard single-wall stovepipe components

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement cleanout tee cap for 8-inch single-wall black stovepipe tee fittings used in residential solid-fuel appliance venting systems.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by qualified HVAC or hearth technicians following local building codes and NFPA 211 guidelines for solid-fuel venting systems. Allow the appliance and connected venting to cool completely before removing or installing the tee cap. The cap should seat securely on the tee branch to prevent flue gas leakage during appliance operation. Inspect the cap and tee fitting for creosote buildup, corrosion, or deformation at each service interval.
