Historically, the plumbing and HVAC industry has not nationally regulated
the use of thermoplastic Flue Gas Venting pipe, fittings, and accessories.
The safety concern is in the use of plumbing Drain, Waste and Vent (DWV)
products, such as Schedule 40 Solid Wall and Foam Core DWV in Flue Gas
Venting (FGV). These products were never intended to be used in FGV
applications, but they have been chosen because they are often the least
expensive materials available.
The use of Schedule 40 Solid Wall or Foam Core DWV pipe and fittings do
NOT meet the UL 1738 safety standard for venting one of the most
dangerous and silent killers: carbon monoxide.

THE CODE CHANGE AND BETTER VENTING OPTION
The use of plastic venting systems on gas fired water heaters, furnaces and boilers has
undergone a significant change. The NFPA 54-18 and IFGC-18 Fuel Gas Codes now recognizes
the UL 1738 venting standard across the United States.
