The METAL-FAB 4MSC is a 4-inch storm collar designed for use with double-wall B-vent pipe systems. Storm collars seal the gap between a vent pipe and the roof penetration, preventing water infiltration at the flashing point. This metal collar is a standard component in gas appliance venting installations and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers completing a venting system. At approximately 1 pound, the 4MSC is a lightweight, direct-fit solution for 4-inch B-vent pipe runs.
This storm collar is suited for residential and light commercial gas appliance venting where B-vent double-wall pipe exits through the roof. Common applications include venting for gas furnaces, water heaters, and boilers that use Type B gas vent pipe. It is installed at the roof deck where the vent pipe passes through the roofline, seating against the flashing to create a weather-tight barrier.

Shut down and allow the appliance and vent pipe to cool before handling any vent components. Slide the storm collar over the pipe before seating it against the roof flashing, and seal per local code requirements. Do not install on vent pipe sizes other than those specified.
