DuraVent PolyPro Concentric VSM Adapter: joins another maker’s concentric vent to DuraVent PolyPro
The DuraVent PolyPro Concentric VSM Adapter is a connector between two makers’ concentric vents, which carry exhaust and incoming air in a pipe inside a pipe. It connects another maker’s 110 by 150 millimeter polypropylene vent to DuraVent’s 100 by 150 millimeter concentric PolyPro, also called 4 by 6 inch. PolyPro is DuraVent’s polypropylene vent pipe for high efficiency condensing gas boilers, furnaces, and water heaters. DuraVent names this adapter for certain Viessmann Vitodens 100-W and 200-W wall hung boilers, not every model in those families.
In the USA, the appliance maker must name PolyPro for that appliance, and its venting instructions govern its use. In Canada, DuraVent lists PolyPro as a separate vent system. The PolyPro run uses DuraVent PolyPro components and joining methods only. Another maker’s polypropylene pipe can connect only through a DuraVent adapter intended for that connection. Where plastic venting crosses a fire rated wall or floor, approved firestopping must seal the opening to maintain that fire barrier. Need pipe beyond the connection? See the DuraVent PolyPro Concentric Vent Length pipe. The DuraVent PolyPro Concentric VSM Adapter ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
