    No!

    No PVC! AL29C is required. There was a recall on plexvent about 15 years ago,not sure if it still in effect

    You need FlexVent

    I have a GV6 and it was installed with the PlexVent. The next year, I got a call from the installer about a mandatory recall. They came out and pulled all of it and replaced it with a stainless steel FlexVent. There seems to have been a special FlexVent part supplied that could attach to the output flue elbow within the enclosure. I've been looking for this piece and I can't find it, so that I can replace a failed condensate drain.



    I wonder if Weil McLain would still address the recall?



    Later,
