Flue cap cover
There is disclosed a flue cap cover for covering a flue cap extending from a building wall. The flue cap cover may be of different colors to match or contrast with the color of the building. The flue cap cover includes a cover, an optional mesh pest guard, a pipe ring and an optional trim ring.
RAIN CAP VENT FLUE ADAPTER
A rain cap system includes a rain cap and an adapter to mount the rain cap to multiple types of gas flues or pipes. The adapter includes a first flange to mount to the rain cap and an adjustable mounting portion to mount to the gas flue. The adjustable mounting portion includes first and second moveable links having first and second surfaces with first and second edges and first and second interfacing portions, wherein the first and second edges define an opening of the adapter. The adapter includes an adjustment portion to move the first and second moveable links towards one another to decrease the size of the opening of the adapter. The adjustment portion is configured to move the first and second links away from one another to increase the size of the opening of the adapter.
Vertical vent stack cap
A vent cap may include a hollow tube comprising a side wall defining at least one airway; a cap coupled to a first end of the hollow tube, the cap configured to deter one or more unwanted objects from entering the hollow tube through the first end; and a mesh material covering the at least one airway, the mesh material configured to allow air to pass through the at least one airway, the mesh material configured to deter the one or more unwanted objects from entering the hollow tube through the at least one airway. The vent cap may comply with one or more plumbing and/or building codes.
FLUE CAP COVER
There is disclosed a flue cap cover for covering a flue cap extending from a building wall. The flue cap cover may be of different colors to match or contrast with the color of the building. The flue cap cover includes a cover, an optional mesh pest guard, a pipe ring and an optional trim ring.
Exhaust adapter, exhaust structure for water heater, and method for installing exhaust adapter
An exhaust adapter secures an exhaust tube relative to an exhaust pipe. The exhaust adapter is formed to have an annular shape enclosing a through hole, and is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube and on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe by inserting the exhaust tube into the through hole. When the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, and when the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe, the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe.

Non-return valve for a flow channel through which a flow of air flows
A non-return valve for a flow channel has a housing and an outflow opening that can be closed by a pivoting blocking flap. The blocking flap has a dome-shaped bulge. An opening edge of the outflow opening has a hinge region for the blocking flap that transitions into a blocking flap stop region circumferentially opposite the hinge region. The blocking flap stop region is offset so that the opening edge has a progression that is curved in the circumferential direction and in the outflow direction. The housing has an indentation in the circumferential direction, which is not closed by the blocking flap such that the indentation forms a condensate chamber when the housing is inserted into the surrounding flow channel. The indentation is equipped with a flow opening, through which a condensate accumulating in the condensate chamber delimited by the indentation can flow in the interior of the housing.
Exhaust structure for combustion apparatus and construction method thereof
An exhaust tube includes one end portion and the other end portion and is connected at one end portion to a combustion apparatus, of which inside is defined as an exhaust passage for combustion gas. An exhaust pipe has an outer diameter greater than that of exhaust tube, into which a part of exhaust tube on a side of the other end portion is introduced. An exhaust adapter is attached between an outer circumferential surface of exhaust tube and an inner circumferential surface of exhaust pipe. On the side close to the other end portion in exhaust tube relative to exhaust adapter, an exhaust passage hole 1a is provided separately from an opening in the other end portion of exhaust tube. Exhaust passage hole has an opening area greater than a cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage and is in communication with the exhaust passage.
EXHAUST ADAPTER, EXHAUST STRUCTURE FOR WATER HEATER, AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING EXHAUST ADAPTER
An exhaust adapter secures an exhaust tube relative to an exhaust pipe. The exhaust adapter is formed to have an annular shape enclosing a through hole, and is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube and on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe by inserting the exhaust tube into the through hole. When the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, and when the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe, the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe.
