Z-VENT Special Gas Vent System

Z-VENT Advanced Engineering forHigh Efficiency Gas Boilers and HeatersZ-VENT Special Gas VentA revolutionary self sealing Special Gas Vent System thatdramatically reduces the total installed vent system cost.Double Fail Safe ConnectionsZ-VENT Special Gas Vent components aresupplied with self sealing FKM gasket connectionsthat install in half the time of field sealed systems.The special design of the gaskets, alongwith precision engineered close toleranceconstruction components, ensure an air andwater-tight fit. This air and water-tight connection withfusion welded pipe seams ensures optimum vent performanceand reliability. No field applied sealant is necessary, curetime or call backs. Single Wall metallic special gas vent is cutto length on site. Singlewall and Doublewall is manufactured indiameters up to 24”.UL Tested and ListedZ-VENT Special Gas Vent System is listed by Underwriters Laboratories toUL 1738 and ULC S636, File MH 18505, for Gas-Burning Appliances, Category I,II,III and IV. Conforming to Underwriters Laboratories pressure specifications, ensuresreliability and optimum vent performance. Leakage tested to 2½ times the UL pressurerating of 8” W.C.Page 1Z-VENT is manufactured by Z-Flex US, a Novaflex Group Company

Z-VENT ApplicationZ-VENT is a factory built, engineered Special Gas Vent Systemsuitable for venting positive,neutral or negative pressure,residential and commercial gas fired heating equipment wherethe maximum allowable continuous vent gas temperature is upto 550 F (288 C) for up to 12” diameter and 480 F (248 C)for 14”-24” diameters.ConstructionThe inner flue is manufactured from superferritic UNS S44735(i.e. AL 29-4C ) stainless steel. This alloy shows excellentresistance to chloride ion pitting, crevice corrosion and stresscorrosion cracking, making it the ideal choice for battling theeffects of high temperature flue gases and corrosive condensatefrom high efficiency gas heating equipment.Z-VENT Double Wall ConstructionPatentedPositive LockSystemDouble Fail Safe FKM GasketOuter Pipe1” InsulatingAir SpaceInner PipeA unique built-in Double Fail Safe FKM Gasket Systemprovides air and water tight connections, with no sealantrequired.Z-VENT is Leakage tested to 2½ times the UL listed pressurerating of 8 inches water column.Snap-lock ShownZ-VENT Double Wall SystemIncorporates a one inch air space between the vent walls, providing an insulation factor. Theinsulated double wall construction reduces clearance to combustibles and helps to maintain stacktemperature; an important feature in the safe venting of modern high efficiency heating equipment.The outer wall is fabricated from Type 304 Stainless Steel, providing long lasting performance andsuperior structural integrity. Where the vent is installed in potentially corrosive environments such asrooms with chemicals present, the option of 316* Stainless Steel is available, providing increasedcorrosion resistance.Fusion welded components provide superior fit, reduced turbulence and flow resistance. Alsoeliminated are crevices and other spots where condensation can collect and corrode the vent.Pipe and fittings ends are precision formed and calibrated using specially designed high tolerancetooling. All seams are continuously welded using proprietary Z-Weld technology providing indefiniteservice life and a virtual air and water tight construction.*Custom order, P.O.R.Page 3Z-VENT is manufactured by Z-Flex US, a Novaflex Group Company

Z-VENT Special Gas VentPatented Sealing SystemZ-VENT components are supplied with factory installed, patented (US Patent 6-523-865),self-sealing gaskets. The special gasket design with precision engineered close tolerance constructionensure an air and water tight fit leakage tested to 2½ times the UL pressure rating of 8 inches W.C.Single WallAvailable in diameter sizes ranging up to 24”. Engineered for use with Category I, II, IIIand IV gas-burning appliances only, where the maximum vent gas temperature at theappliance outlet does not exceed 550 F (288 C) for up to 12” diameter and 480 F(248 C) for 14”-24” diameters.Z-VENT can be installed in practically any configuration through the use of awide range of pipe, fittings, terminations and appliance specific adaptors.See Z-VENT installation instructions and appliance manufacturer’s instructionsfor recommended clearances to combustibles.Double WallAvailable in diameter sizes ranging up to 24. Engineered for use withCategory I, II, III and IV gas-burning appliances only, where the maximumvent gas temperature at the appliance outlet does not exceed 550 F (288 C) for up to 12” diameterand 480 F (248 C) for 14”-24” diameters.Z-VENT Double Wall’s one inch air space between the inner and outer wallprovides an insulation factor and is therefore recommended for installations wherereduced surface temperatures are needed and where stack temperatures need to bemaintained.Z-VENT Double Wall is also recommended for exterior runs and installations wheregreater structural durability is needed.Z-VENT can be installed in practically any configuration through the use of a widerange of pipe lengths, fittings, terminations and appliance specific adaptors.Please see Z-VENT installation instructions and appliance manufacturer’s instructionsat www.z-flex.com for recommended clearances to combustibles.ZVClamp ShownZ-VENT is manufactured by Z-Flex US, a Novaflex Group CompanyPage 4
