NovaVENT (Z-Flex)
Stainless steel became the standard for venting more than hundred years ago. Today, advances in metal technologies such as NV1738 offer improved elevated temperature strength and outstanding resistance to environmental attack; providing even better long term value in service life. Stainless Steel is a noncombustible material and unlike PVC bears no risk of chemical outgasing. Stainless steel is a 100% recyclable material.
NovaVENT™ flue is manufactured from a unique high corrosion resistant stainless steel alloy, NV1738, with properties suited for use with gas burning equipment which produce corrosive condensation in venting systems. When compared to plastic and other resin based materials used for venting systems, NovaVENT™ displays considerably lower thermal expansion and contraction making it much more resistance to stress corrosion cracking.
NovaVENT™ SW components are supplied with factory installed, patented (US patent 6-523-865), self-sealing Double Fail Safe™ gaskets. This gasket is designed to work with Z-Flex's precision engineered close tolerance manufacturing processes which ensure an air-tight, water-tight fit.
Manufactured by Z-Flex; NovaVENT™ is a factory built, designed and engineered Special Gas Vent system suitable for venting Category II, III, or IV Gas Burning appliances and Direct Vent units.
