AMPCO B-vent Positive Pressure Venting Systems

AMPCO B-vent Positive Pressure Venting Systems

AMPCO manufactures engineered solutions for venting today’s high-efficiency combustion installations. AMPCO engineered systems are manufactured of high technology materials which resist the highly corrosive effects of combustion exhaust. Traditional methods require time-consuming, labor-intensive installations which consume valuable building space and which later require expensive routine maintenance. Utilizing a system of both standard pre-engineered products with custom-manufactured components, AMPCO engineers a cost-effective venting system which consumes little space (often with zero clearance to combustibles) and which assembles easily in the field.

Increases usable floor space

Offers the lowest clearance to combustibles in the industry, as listed by UL/ULC

Many Applications AMPCO’s sealed exhaust systems are ideal for discharging exhaust gases and fumes from boilers, heaters, ovens, engines, turbines, and kitchen appliances. AMPCO chimneys are UL/ULC-listed and will accommodate flue gases at temperatures not exceeding 1800°F intermittent operation and up to 1400°F continuous operation. Grease duct applications are 500°F continuous.

Lightweight, interchangeable and easy to install AMPCO insulated components are so light and easy to install that 1 or 2 people can easily assemble them without special equipment. No welding or on-site fabrication is required. Components are interchangeable, allowing complex systems to be assembled from standard elements. This means modifications, additions or repairs can be made quickly and economically. Furthermore, AMPCO furnishes detailed drawings and easy-to-follow instructions. This reduces installation time and assures a safe installation.
Quality Construction and 10-Year Factory WarrantyAMPCO insulated venting is built to last for years. Inner walls are constructed of 304 or optional 316 stainless steel.Type 316 stainless is recommended for high sulphur fuels and/or corrosive environments.Type 304 stainless steel is suitable for gas, number two diesel grades of fuel, oil or wood. All pipes and fittings are continuous seam-welded and pressure tight. Wide-end flanges provide a strong, virtually leak-proof joint. Containment and closure bands resist slippage from vibration or thermal expansion because they are deeply flanged and channeled.
Fast, on site assembly. No need for welding or special tools! AMPCO insulated elements simplify on-site installation. Components are joined together with a Containment Band that is fitted over the butted flanges of the adjoining inner wall and bolted in place.No welding is necessary. A Closure Band is then fitted over the outer wall and bolted in place. Hangers, Wall Supports, and other accessories are just as easy to install. See the complete Installation Instructions for details.
