Venting
When to use a Vent Hood
Vent Hoods can be used in
conjunction with PVG, PVO, and
PVE Power Venters (Figure 1) or with
forced draft systems (Figure 2).
All Field Vent Hoods are made of heavy gauge
aluminum and can be used with LP gas or oil-fired
equipment. There are five diameters ranging from
3" to 8". NOTE: Field aluminum Vent Hoods are not
recommended for Natural gas.
The concentric pipe, angled outlet deflectors, and
spaced plate design allow for better heat dissipation.
This type of construction minimizes the effects of heat
on the outside wall. The angled hood design reduces
the effects of wind on the venting system.
The inner and outer pipe are a continuous structure.
This allows for easy installation to power venter or vent
pipe and also eliminates possible positive pressure
leaks in the wall section.
Field Vent Hoods meet the highest standards for safety
and reliability, built in accordance with guidelines from
NFPA211, NFPA54 and ANSIZ21.47.
