This exhaust venting kit is specifically designed for gas refrigerators and freezers to safely remove hot exhaust from the burner flue and direct it outside the building. It requires a hole to be drilled at a 4 degree downward angle in the adjacent outside wall to prevent condensation from entering the inside. The flexible steel exhaust hose has a 1.25" diameter, while most flue tubes have a 1" outside diameter. In some cases, there may not be enough space to fit the vent completely over the flue tube, in which case high temperature HVAC tape or flexible steel wire can be used to secure it in place. To ensure proper ventilation, simply blow out a match at the pipe connection gap. No clamps are necessary for the vent hose to attach to the flue..
This device is not certified by any authority to serve as a safety device. If you need to pass a required inspection, check with your local authority before purchasing to see if it will qualify. If you are concerned about carbon monoxide we always recommend using an electronic carbon monoxide detector wherever gas appliances are being used. Use at least 3.5 feet of the supplied 72" hose.
Wear gloves when working with the steel flex pipe. The cut off edges on the ends may be sharp.
We do not supply or offer a lower inlet hose for air supply to the burner due to the differences of burner cover sizes among refrigerator manufacturers.
These kits are made to order and usually ship within 1-2 business days.
