Bain Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I found this in a house today. I thought all black or gray HTPV flues were condemned, but when I went to the CPSC web-site, it said that the recalled flues had Ultravent or Plex-Vent stamped on them. There was also a list of manufacturers participating in the recall, and Selkirk wasn't listed. I already told my buyer she needed to check with an HVAC dude to determine whether this pipe was okay or not. But . . . I was curious if someone was more knowledgable about it than I am.

Bill Kibbel Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I remember "Selvent" was on the list of recalled HTPV vent piping systems that came out in the late '90s. I'd bet it's made by Selkirk. The recall was for through-the-wall installations only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, of course, don't remember what it said 'cause I was looking for Ultra- or Plex-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie R Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 This link "http://www.inspectapedia.com/heat/goodman.htm" mentions Selvent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resqman Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 There are grills mounted in the duct work. You have supply/returns inches from the draft hoods of two appliances. The recalled vent pipe is not the only problem with that installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
