Category IV

, being a gas appliance that operates with a positive vent (fan forced vent) 

connector with a flue gas pressure and temperature less than 140°F (60°C) above its dew 
point. 

 

Direct Vent

, a gas appliance is constructed and installed so that all air for combustion is 

derived directly from the outdoors and all flue gases are discharged to the outdoors. 

1.4.  CERTIFIED VENTING MATERIALS FOR FLUE PIPE SYSTEMS  

Acceptable 

materials

  and 

manufacturers

  for flue vent pipe systems are listed below in Options 1 

through 4. Consult local codes and authorities prior to installation. 

 

 

The Vent Pipe Systems below are used for venting gas burning 
Category II and IV appliances. Do not use these vent pipe systems for 
venting appliances burning fuels such as wood, coal, oil or kerosene. 

 

Maintain clearances from combustible construction for heater, vent 
connector, and steam and hot-water pipes. 

 

Do not use these vent pipe systems for incinerators of any kind. 

 

OPTION 1:

 

AL29-4C Stainless Steel 

  Security Chimneys International, Secure Seal, SS, SSD, 8 SSID (available through 

AERCO) 

  Flex-L International Inc.,  StaR 34 Vent 

  Heat-Fab Inc., Saf-T Vent
