3" venting, stainless

The size the listing states. Diameter, material and termination all have to be on your heater maker's approved list; venting is the one part of a gas install nobody should improvise.

Will your heater accept it?

The listing names 3" venting, stainless steel and a horizontal termination.

Only venting on your heater maker's approved list is safe to use. Match the part number in the installation manual before you order.

Our take

The verdict

The Blulu 3" Stainless Direct Vent Kit is about 3" stainless horizontal venting, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so the Blulu 3" Stainless Direct Vent Kit has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Blulu vent kit: no word on the exact models it fits. We'd pick it if your heater manual lists this exact vent system; otherwise, put it next to the TIKSCIENCE 3" Direct Vent Kit first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Blulu 3" Stainless Direct Vent Kit, check your heater's vent list: it is 3" pipe, and only the vent parts your heater's manual approves are safe.

Before you buy

Your heater's vent list

This is 3" pipe. Only the vent components your heater's manual approves are safe. Same diameter is not enough.

Clearances

Distance to windows, doors and the ground is set by the manual and local code. Our installation guide covers the questions to ask.

Who installs it

Venting carries exhaust out of the house: a licensed plumber or gas fitter signs it off.
