What is Z-Vent ?
*Z-VENT vent pipe is made of AL294c stainless steel which is durable enough to use in hi-efficiency boilers and tankless water heaters. The acidic condensation produced in todays equipment will not corode Z-Vent pipe. *Gasketed connections,no need for sealant when joining pipe * The only brand ...
What is the grey film inside the pipe ?
Please let me explain what it is that you are seeing on the inside of the Z-Vent pipe. What you see is a byproduct of the way that the Z-Vent pipe is cut as it comes off our tube mill machine at the factory. You will see a brownish film (slag) that usually goes down the inside of the vent len ...
