GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES
Reference the Installation Instructions
provided with Duravent's rigid pipe (L273)
for general instructions.
PP Flex must be
enclosed, and used in conjunction with
rigid PP pipe to connect to an appliance.
•
When used to conduct flue gases, PP flex
must not be installed at an angle greater
than 45 degrees from vertical. This will
ensure proper condensate flow back
towards the appliance outlet.
•
PP Flex may be used to bring
combustion air into the appliance. In
these instances, pipe can be unenclosed
and oriented in a vertical or horizontal
position.
•
PP flex must be treated carefully to
prevent damage when being installed
during low temperatures (<41°F, < 5 °C).
In colder weather, pre-warm flex prior
to installation. When relining, it may be
easier to insert flex from the bottom up
