Hercules DuraVent Aluminum Round B-Vent High Wind Cap, 5 In., Mill Finish
This is a 5 in. aluminum round high wind cap for Type B gas vent systems, finished in mill aluminum. One cap is included per sell unit. It pairs with DuraVent Type B gas vent pipe and fittings using the DuraLock snap-lock connection.
Key Features:
- DuraLock connection: DuraVent's DuraLock system creates a lock-tight connection as alignment indicators meet and the ends snap firmly into place.
- No fasteners needed: Installs with no mechanical fasteners and no sharp tabs to bend into slots.
- Job-site durability: DuraVent Type B gas vent is designed to meet the rugged demands of the job site, with a recessed inner wall that resists handling damage.
- Rapid heat-up design: Type B gas vent is engineered to heat up rapidly and stay hot during appliance operation, minimizing condensation in the appliance and vent system.
- Pipe shape options: Type B pipe is available in round and oval shapes; oval pipe fits standard stud walls to reduce the installation area.
- Wide pipe range: Type B pipe lengths are available from 6 to 60 in. with a full complement of adjustable and rigid fittings.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Match the cap size to the Type B vent pipe diameter; this listing covers the 5 in. size. The DuraLock snap-lock design speeds termination work in exposed, high-wind locations where mechanical fastening is awkward. Remember that Type B is a gas vent product only, so verify the appliance type before specifying; oval pipe is the right choice when the stack must run through a standard stud wall.
Follow the vent manufacturer's clearances and local code for gas vent terminations, and use caution when working on a roof.
Order the Hercules DuraVent 5 in. aluminum high wind cap to complete your Type B gas vent installation.
