OK guys.. first time I've seen this type of install today. It was a gas water heater (2006) with a black flexible 'rubber like' hose with extra slack run from the power vent to the exterior. Would have expected to see rigid PVC for this application. Is this material (in the photo) approved for this?

I did note the slack and the loose hose clamp in the report.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I posted a similar question about a year ago, having never seen that material used for a vent before, Matt. Les and some of the other Michigan people said the stuff is common up there and also legal.

Here's a similar thread that discusses those vent connectors. Lots of us had never seen them before.
