Type-B DuraConnect Gas Vent Pipe Features and Benefits

• Type-B DuraConnect Gas Vent features a heavy gauge aluminum liner to provide fast warm-up. This allows Type-B Gas Vent to create a quick, strong draft and provide corrosion resistance for safe and trouble-free performance.

• Type-B Gas Vent Pipe features male and female ends that are hemmed to provide structural integrity and prevent ovalization. The hemmed edges on Type-B Gas Vent chimney systems also eliminate sharp edges that can cause injuries on the job site. Damage in handling is also avoided due Type-B Vent's recessed liner.

• Type-B Gas Vent features die formed ends to ensure a consistent fit, easy twist-lock assembly, and proper alignment.

• Type-B Gas Vent Pipe feature inverse beads to add rigidity and ensure proper spacing between the inner liner and outer wall. The inverse beads also seal the air chamber between the inner liner that heats up rapidly and the outer walls. As a result, the inner liner of Type-B DuraConnect Vent Pipe is allowed to heat up rapidly and remain hot during fireplace operation to minimize the effects of condensation.

Type-B Gas Vents are not suitable for use with wood burning or coal applications, industrial ovens, exhaust ranges and hoods, grease or pollution ducting, or as free-standing exhaust vents for high-temperature applications.
