Selkirk 108240 8 Inch Rv Draft Hood Connector Type B Gas Vent 8RV-DH

Product Description

The Selkirk 108240 is an 8 inch RV Draft Hood Connector designed to connect C Vent pipe to Type B gas vent systems at the appliance draft hood. This fitting is part of the Selkirk MetalBest RV line, a round Type B gas vent system built for approved gas appliances in residential, light commercial, and light industrial settings. HVAC technicians and installers rely on this connector to transition from the appliance flue collar into the vertical vent stack, ensuring a secure and code-compliant connection at the draft hood location. The 8 inch size refers to the inside diameter of the fitting. The outside diameter measures approximately 8.5 inches due to the standard RV line construction, which adds roughly 0.5 inches to the outside profile. The outer shell is fabricated from 28 gauge galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance and structural rigidity in demanding installation environments. The inner liner is constructed from aluminum, which is the standard material for Type B gas vent inner liners and helps maintain safe flue gas temperatures during appliance operation. Type B gas vent systems are specifically engineered to handle the lower-temperature exhaust produced by natural gas and propane appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, boilers, and unit heaters. The RV draft hood connector is used at the base of the vent system, connecting directly to the appliance draft hood before transitioning into the full vent run. This piece is essential for maintaining proper draft and preventing backdrafting in gas combustion appliances. Installers working on large-capacity residential furnaces, commercial water heaters, or light industrial heating equipment will find this fitting suited for those applications. Always verify local codes and appliance manufacturer specifications before installation.
