4000sposse Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 After a little research there are flex b-vents out there that can be used. I just have never seen or heard of one, and intuitively I think they are a bad idea. Too easy to get deformed , or smashed turning a two walled vent into a one wall vent... Should have researched more before posting, thanks though. flex b-vent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearthman Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Flexible vent connectors are much stiffer than aluminum chimney liner or dryer venting you may be comparing it to. They must be stiff enough to maintain their position including the 1" clearance to combustibles. the fittings on each end are listed. Any more pics showing that WH connection?

Brandon Whitmore Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 That's the flexible, approved vent material I'm used to seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 For a B vent transition? It looks like mangled dryer duct to me. Maybe it's time to retire..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
