Sales Tip: Saf-T Vent


Saf-T Vent Special Gas Venting is primarily venting that is used for mid- to high efficiency(AFUE rating 84% and higher), gasfired, condensing boilers and water heaters.
It is called Saf-T Vent for a reason. Safety of the end-user is our primary concern. Attention to detail is what makes Saf-T Vent the safest venting product to use when venting today’s mid- to highefficiency gas-fired appliances. There’s no need to worry about harmful flue gases like carbon monoxide seeping into the building.
A few of the safety features built into Selkirk’s Saf-T Vent special gas vent are:
• A tapered end with a beveled edge that slides past the integral seal without damaging it or pushing it out of position.
• The three-ribbed seal built right in, providing a tighter seal to ensure that the harmful flue gases do not leak out.
• The formed end of the pipe that gives it added strength to maintain the integrity of the circle.
Homeowners are more aware than ever about indoor air quality. Venting today’s highefficiency equipment is all about our Saf-T Vent EZ Seal special gas vent. The tapered and flared ends with the patented ring-and-tab closure device provide a fastening system that has proven to be the tightest, most secure joint available to give you confidence that the vent system will carry those harmful flue gases outside and withstand the corrosive effects of the condensate.
For the commercial building owner, who is just as concerned with indoor air quality, there’s our Saf-T Vent CI Plus special gas vent. Also with flared, tapered ends and an integral seal, this product is joined together with the simple yet effective patented Sure-Seal closure system drawing the joint together. The CI Plus special gas
vent is designed for clearance to combustibles down to one inch. There is no need to worry when it is installed in those tight spaces, nor is there any need to worry about skin temperatures. The one-inch airspace reduces vent skin temperatures, which allows for safer maintenance conditions.
Saf-T Vent is manufactured using the latest stateof- the-art laser technology. Computer-driven lasers do most of the cutting and welding, thus eliminating much of the potential for human error. With laser technology you get precision cutting, which, in turn, gives you tight tolerances for consistently tight-fitting joints. As a result, you get a venting system that will not leak harmful flue gases or bothersome condensate. In other words, you get a totally safe venting system.

New Metalbestos Brand Logo

Selkirk has designed a new logo for its Metalbestos Chimney & Venting Brand in the US and Canada.

The new Metalbestos Logo ties together a new look with a very traditional style.

Sales Tip: RV Gas Vent Firestop Gripper Supports


The Metalbestos RV Firestop Gripper Supports are designed to save time and
hassle when installing Type B gas vent.
These supports feature metal “gripper-fingers” that grab the vent pipe to hold it securely in place. They have been designed and tested to support more than twice their rated weight.
To install, simply nail the support plate over a properly framed opening and push the
vent pipe up from below, stopping when the pipe is at the desired position. That’s
it! There are no collars to align and tighten or nuts and bolts to deal with.
No other B vent support installs faster...saving time, money and trouble.
Three new larger sizes—7", 8" and 10"— have now been added to the product family. The gripper support is now available in 3", 4", 5", 6", 7", 8" and 10" sizes! The 3" to 6" sizes include a built-in spacer ring, which assures that the required one-inch clearance to combustibles is maintained. These sizes are UL-listed.
