DuraVent CVS Horizontal Termination for Gas: an adjustable wall cap for a gas vent
The DuraVent CVS Horizontal Termination for Gas is a wall cap for a gas appliance vented through an outside wall. Its body slides from 8 to 13 inches, letting the cap sit the distance beyond the wall that the appliance needs for airflow. Screws hold it at that length. It goes at the outdoor end of the vent run and serves gas appliances whose makers approve CVS. CVS is DuraVent’s concentric vent: the exhaust runs up a 3 inch inner pipe while combustion air comes in through the 5 inch outer pipe around it.
Trim rings for both sides of the wall come with the cap. The outdoor ring secures it against the wall and gets a silicone seal. The cap sits with its air openings pointing toward the ground. For a condensing gas appliance that produces plenty of water, a condensate drain goes near the bottom of the run when the appliance maker requires one. Venting a pellet stove instead? See the DuraVent CVS Horizontal Termination for Pellet fixed length cap. The DuraVent CVS Horizontal Termination for Gas ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
