Mike Lamb 58 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I have never put B-vent together. Ignoring the insulation issue, is this small gap at the connection of any consequence? Click to Enlarge 50.9 KB Click to Enlarge 46.26 KB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Katen 133 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The outer wall is broken, the inner liner might be as well. Someone should replace it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjr6550 5 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I would be concerned that if the elbow was installed out of alignment such that it separated at the outer joint, then the inner joints could also be damaged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Hodgkins 0 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 This is not uncommon during installation, but definitely should not have been left like this. Maybe someone bumped into it. Remove the elbow, pop the metal bead back in it's groove so that the elbow swivels freely, and reinstall. If the bead does not stay in it's groove, than I would get a new elbow.
