Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Use a high wind cap where the vent terminates on an exposed ridge or in a windy locale, as it helps stabilize draft at the termination. Match the cap diameter to the vent pipe — 8 in. here — and confirm the appliance is approved for Type B venting before specifying. The DuraLock snap connection speeds installation, but always verify the completed assembly per the manufacturer's instructions and local mechanical code.
Type B gas vent is for listed gas appliances only; do not use with wood, coal, grease, or high-temperature exhaust, and follow the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
Top your Type B gas vent with the Hercules DuraVent 8 in. high wind cap for reliable performance in exposed locations.
