Awesome video man, some one just took out my electric water heater n installed a natural gas 40 gallon tank, i was concerned about the venting, I'm in a trailer home going out side wall, I'm happy with the height but not the venting pipe, I'll go get b pipe n do it myself, the hard part was done, ☮️from🇨🇦

Hello there! Is there such things as a 'low-height draft hood'? I'd like to increase the pitch of my 3" vent as much as possible. I cannot lower the water-heater or raise the other end of the vertical vent where it enters (or connects) to the vertical section of the vent. Currently, the pitch is quite alright but I just like to increase it. Thank you for your great videos. 👍.

What could you speculate if after a new home build, ticking noises come from the hot water heater vent which runs close to rooms as it goes up through the 2nd story subfloor to the roof? And what could be done about it?

Sorry, new to this thing. The code says the b vent should not exceed 45° (and one 60° is allowed). I am confused. Can I make a 90° angle just like you did in the attic? Thanks

Was hoping to see something on oval b vent. Manufactuer says 4 and 5 inch can go in a 2x4 wall but the numbers don't add up. The 5 inch b vent is 2 7/8 outside thickness so to maintain a 1 inch clearance one would need a 4 7/8 stud. ? Edit: I reread the instructions for hart cooley and it says a 1 inch clearance is required for draft hooded appliances except except when the b vent is used in the stud space. Now, I'm really confused 🙂

you can't put b-vent in a 2x4 wall , has to have the 1" clearance . you can build a chase

@@PlumbingSolutionsLLC all the major manufacturers say you can as long as you use their firestops which center the oval b vent in the 14.5 inch stud space at top and bottom. I don't understand why the oval b vent needs less clearance but the instructions seem quite clear that thats the case. Check out Selkirk's oval b vent instructions.

well, it shouldn't. The air moving through it should be hot enough to cook off any condensate especially in the summertime. You could be missing the end cap.

Yes but you can not terminate horizontally . You still have to go vertical above the roof line. You could get a direct vent heater they terminate horizontally and draw their air from out side. but they cost more.

Question: How do you air seal the B vent (Obviously that doesn't happen I don't see anyone doing it) Like HVAC ducts you can snap them together and then you need to tape and mastic them to keep the air in (even the factory joints). Why and how do you not do this with B vent carrying a more important gas? is it the capillary/ vacuum that keeps it from leaking?
