How many bends can I put in the vent pipe?
SUN-MAR. The Environmental SolutionMore than 3 90° bends will disrupt airflow. We also do not recommend any horizontal lengths (no matter how short) or downward dips of the pipe. Fasten your pipe to the structure with the supplied brackets to prevent settling.
I need to create a couple of copper pipe bends, what is the best tool for this?
Tools FAQIf you are just doing occasional pipe work, than a bending spring is fine. They fit 15mm pipes, and 22mm pipes (SCREWFIX numbers13929, and 12076). Grease them first, and if it is a long run, you will need to attach a piece of strong, thick wire to the "eye" end to pull it out. Push into the pipe so that the centre of the spring is where you want the centre of the bend to be. Get an old towel, put it between your bent knee and the pipe, and bend towards you, until you get the dersired 90 degrees.
What about installing larger units with more carbon or just extending the vent pipe a few feet?
Frequently Asked Questions, about the Sweetfilter vent pipe ...Standard whole house air filters and carbon furnace filters typically use 3 ounces of activated carbon and last for years. It is not the quantity of carbon used in a filter but the surface area covered that determines effective odor removal. A wider/shorter Sweetfilter with more surface area is much more effective than a skinny/tall unit. A 4.55" SF-110 body on a 1.5" vent pipe is many times more effective than a smaller diameter unit with the same height.
Q8. Is an open vent pipe still required?
STUDOR Air Admittance Valves(AAVs)In the majority of buildings, yes - it depends on the type of building and the building regulations. The purpose of the open vent pipe is to relieve any positive pressure in the drainage system. In buildings up to ten storeys high, one open vent is recommended to relieve the constant positive pressure build-up that can occur if the main sewer is blocked for some time. In higher buildings the positive pressure generated is in transient form, so each stack would need an open vent.
What do you think about using PVC pipe for a dryer vent?
FAQsPVC pipe should never be used as a dryer vent. Few people realize that when air flows over plastic, it generates static electricity. Lint is attracted to the static electricity, and PVC dryer vents usually have extremely thick lint deposits. Metal is the best dryer vent material. Lint traps that use a water reservoir to trap lint particles are marketed as a replacement for conventional dryer vents. They cost around $15 and can be found at local hardware stores and home improvement centers.
What are mandrel bends?
Pacemaker Headers Australia - Quality Performance Exhaust He...A mandrel bend is the result of a process in which the tube is bent to maintain its original diameter. A mandrel or ball link die is inserted internally during the critical point during the beginning and at the end of the bending cycle. It is this procedure that gives the pipe a uniform appearance while maintaining the same internal volume capacity through the bend. For a visual explanation of this process, please visit the technical information page, Here.

Do I need a vent?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR L&L CERAMIC KILNSKilns have been operated for years without the newer ventilation systems. Without a vent typically the kiln is vented by propping the lid during the first part of the cycle when the ware gives off fumes. However, a powered downdraft type of vent, like the Vent-Sure that L&L makes, automates this process and improves air circulation and heat distribution in the kiln as well as insures good venting of the fumes to the outside. You MUST be sure to vent fumes generated by a kiln to the outside.
How is it possible to avoid bends from the iron?

What is the life expectancy of PVC pipe?
PVC has an impressive record of long-term durability. When water utility managers and engineering firms were surveyed in a study sponsored by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AWWARF), they cited corrosion resistance, longevity and durability as their top reasons for choosing PVC. When these same water supply professionals were asked to rank PVC against the other common types of pressure pipes for life expectancy, PVC ranked first. [Source: Moser, A.P.
What's the best way to pack a pipe?
G. L. Pease - Frequently Asked QuestionsThis question probably has as many answers as there are pipe smokers. Every smoker has to find the best method for them, but there are some good basic guidelines. The bowl should be packed gently in stages. The ideal fill is even and consistently dense from top to bottom. That's the idea behind the old saw, "Tamp the first pinch with the hand of a child, the second with the hand of a woman, and the final pinch with a manly touch." When done properly, a consistent fill is assured.
Can I merge my vent with my plumbing vent?
SUN-MAR. The Environmental SolutionNo. We realize that this will make your installation easier, but if the toilet is not installed on its own vent, turbulation of the air in the vent will hamper the airflow, and may lead to odors. In addition, vents connected to other devices (such as sinks, etc.) will start to smell of ammonia. The toilet needs to be on its own vent in order to function correctly.
What does the UL listing of a kiln vent system mean?
Skutt Kilns Frequently Asked QuestionsIt means that the manufacturer has submitted the vent unit, properly installed on specific kiln models, to Underwriters' Laboratories for rigorous testing under actual high-heat firing conditions. When installed on Skutt UL kilns, the EnviroVent is the only L listed downdraft vent system. Some kiln vents use an electric motor which may have been UL listed for general room temperature use. This does not make their vents UL listed.
What is the net free vent area of your products?
Cor-A-Vent : FAQ'sV-300 and Fold-A-Vent product lines have 13.5 square inches per lineal foot net free vent area (NFVA).
Can I use Cor-A-Vent ridge vents with other vents?
Cor-A-Vent : FAQ'sThe ridge vent should not be used with other roof mounted or gable end vents. They can disrupt the air flow through the attic. A properly setup ridge/soffit vent system does not need to have power roof vents to help move hot air out of the attic. Whole house fans work great with a ridge/soffit vent system. We do not consider them the same thing as the power roof vents.
How do I figure how much ridge vent I need to use?
Cor-A-Vent : FAQ'sTake the square footage of house under roof X .48 divide this number by 20 (for V-600 products), by 17 (for V-400E or X-5) or by 13.5 (for V-300 or Fold-A-Vent products) this will give the lineal feet of product needed to meet a 1/150 vent ratio. If you are only going for a 1/300 (code minimum) vent ratio divide the above result by two. REMEMBER there MUST be an equal amount of soffit vent (in NFVA) to balance the ridge vent.
What can I do if I have lost a part of the vent?
Replacement parts are available in selected stores and located in the same area where you purchased your bottle. If you have difficulty finding the replacement parts you need, please contact us.
