    Plastic venting

    There are a few manufacturers that are now certified to ULC636. It is basicaly PVC or CPVC with a new colour and certification labeling of standard sch 40 pipe! They even use the same pressure/temperature ratings of pressure pipe!

    It is a marketing ploy as ABS has less expansion and a higher temperature rating before deformation. But ABS gives off more noxious gases when applying the EXTERNAL flame test of the standard. There is no INTERNAL temperature testing for the ULC636 standard.
