These vent systems use indoor air for combustion then the air is vented outside through a chimney. Type B vent pipe allows air from outside to come into your home: if there's a downdraft while the fireplace is not being used, cool air from outside can make its way into your living area. The parts themselves for type b gas vent pipe are inexpensive when compared to other chimney systems, and if you have the right set up, these parts can be very easy to install.

    Installing this type of system for the very first time may be time consuming and difficult; it all depends on the type of chimney system you currently have. If you already have a chimney that goes through the roof, then there's an easy path for the new chimney to follow!

    How long will a B-vent normally last in use with a natural gas furnace and hot water heater, before the whole system would need to be replaced?
    1 Answer
    Most type B gas vent pipe should last decades before possible replacement, though we cannot speak for brands/types we do not sell.  This assumes the pipe is properly installed and being used on a suitable appliance.

    Do you need or is there a sealer for the joints of type B vent pipe?

    1 Answer
    Most current pipe brands do not require any sealant, but this will depend on the particular brand you use and your appliance - the appliance may call for sealant, at least on the flue collar.
