Questions & Answers
4" vent pipes actually have a outside diameter of 4.5" Will this fit that?
4" bvent will work with a 4" bvent cap
Are screws supposed to be used to install the B-vent double wall pipe elbows with two and 3 foot pieces
The 6" bvent connection is a snap lock. Our website has our full install instructions with information on when its approved to use screws. Selkirkcorp.com
Is the opening of the cap 5inches?
NO, its not. I just bought one for my 4" pipe and it measures 4" to the outside.
Yes. Though it is actually sized to slide to the inside of the 5" ID pipe.
Can this cap be mounted vertically? My flue is coming out of a side wall
This cap is only to be mounted vertically. It is for use with Type B Gas Vent on Category I, natural draft appliances that need to terminate vertically above the roof. Unless specifically detailed in an appliance manual, this cap isn't intended to be installed horizontally.
Does this twist lock on to Selkirk pipe?
This cap does not twist-lock onto the pipe. It slides to the inside of the B Vent. There is a securing clip under the lower skirt of the cap that will then engage with the upper, inside edge of the pipe.
will this help with downdrafts ?
This cap is designed to offer protection from debris & birds as well as offer assistance for removal of flue gases. It is approved for use with Category I appliances (natural draft & non-condensing units).
Does this cap prevent wind from blowing out hot water heater pilot.
This Round Top has been tested and safety certified per Underwriters laboratories, Inc., which includes a wind test. The design of this cap offers a venturi effect, helping to pull the flue gases out the last few feet of the run. However if your installation is in a high wind area, you might want to consider the High Wind Cap (for a 5" diameter pipe, the part number would be 5RV-HWT / #105802.). It has a large wind band around the outside of the cap to block the wind, reducing possible affects to the draft. If you'd like more details, feel free to contact our Technical Team at 800-748-0392 opt. 5.
Does is adjust to a 5 1/2 inch?
This is designed to slide to the inside of a 6" inside diameter B Vent. There is no built-in adjustability to make it go down to 5.5".
