FLUE GAS VENTING SYSTEMS ® F L U E G A S V E N T I N G S Y S T E M • UL 1738 certied for categories II and IV gas burning appliances • Rated for ue gas temperatures up to 149°F (65°C) • Certied system of pipe, ttings, cement, & venting accessories • National distribution We build tough products for tough environments®
The rst engineered PVC Flue Gas Venting System certied to UL 1738 System 1738® is a system fully certied to UL 1738; consisting of pipe, ttings, termination kits, and cement manufactured to strict quality, performance and dimensional standards. To aid installers and inspectors is our System 1738 Installation Guide. The contents of the guide are part of the certication process and contain many important aspects of installation to ensure successful, code-compliant installations.
ASTM Standards vs. UL 1738 Currently, the use of plumbing thermoplastic products are referenced in the ANSI Z21 appliance standards as being suitable materials in FGV applications; provided that, they are certied to specic ASTM plumbing standards and are specied by the appliance manufacturer as an approved option for venting. However, these ASTM Standards are for uid handling applications only.
System 1738® Physical Properties and Conformity to UL 1738 To be certied to the UL 1738 standard, System 1738 underwent extensive material and performance testing. In addition, part of the certication process included formal approval of all installation instructions and special marking and labeling requirements for FGV pipe, ttings, and cement. Meeting the UL 1738 standard ensures that System 1738 is suitable and safe for FGV applications.
System 1738® Cements and Primers System 1738 solvent cement is specically formulated and certied for ue gas venting applications to provide welded joints. This cement includes an optical brightener as an additive that is visible under a UV light for identication of the proper cement for the application. Primers are also oered for applications where the gas venting system is to be installed in temperatures below 32˚F (0˚C). Cutting and deburring tools are also available.
Termination Options Concentric Vent Kit Allows for both exhaust and intake pipes to penetrate the roof or side wall through only one hole. Integral ns prevent the cap from sitting ush to the wall, ensuring proper spacing needed for air ow Molded cap with socket allows for vent screens and extensions.
Termination Options Universal Concentric Vent Kit (UCVKTM) A versatile UCVKTM to quickly and compactly terminate Tankless Water heaters Pipe in Pipe design allows for a single horizontal concentric sidewall termination The reversible casing services both left and right hand exhaust units A pivoting intake hub accommodates the dierent spacing of fresh air and exhaust collars Fresh Air Exhaust Optimise your Productivity Through the ease of installation 10
WHY TAKE CHANCES WITH THE WRONG EQUIPMENT FOR THE JOB? Use the Right Equipment. UL 1738 Certied System 1738® Flue Gas Venting from IPEX. System 1738® Flue Gas Venting is a complete and fully certified system designed exclusively for the purpose of venting Categories II and IV gas burning appliances. The use of Schedule 40 Solid Wall or Foam Core Plumbing DWV pipe and fittings do NOT meet the UL 1738 safety standard for venting carbon monoxide, an extremely dangerous and silent killer.
