Being Green, Being Responsible. DuraVent looks for feasible ways of doing business in an ecologically sound way. In manufacturing we use water based paints. Our reverse osmosis system recycles 90% of the water used in the paint line. We buy recycled metals for all our products when available, and recycle waste metals. Factory skylights reduces heavy load needs for electric lighting during daylight hours. In the office, paperless invoicing is now standard. Paperless communications to customers are sent via electronic newsletters or email, and we recycle office paper waste. Kaizen (Japanese for “improvement�) refers to the practice of focusing on continuous improvement in manufacturing activities. By improving standardized activities and processes, Kaizen aims to eliminate waste. Since 1998, DuraVent has reduced manufacturing waste in its plant by 30% through Kaizen practices. DuraVent is a member of the US Green Building Council,(USGBC) a non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable building design and construction, and developers of the LEED building rating system.

Our History The M&G Group acquired Simpson DuraVent September 1, 2010. M&G DuraVent, Inc, a member of the M&G Group, is one of 13 companies in the privately held consortium. M&G (www.m-ggroup.com) was founded in 1932 and is headquartered in the Netherlands. The M&G Group produces a wide range of flue and vent products in aluminum, stainless steel and plastic. It is the largest supplier of engineered venting systems for the high-efficiency heating market in Europe. All M&G companies, including DuraVent, are 100% focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing only flue and ventilation systems. Since 1958, DuraVent has been a leading manufacturer of Gas Vent and Chimney products in the US. In 1982, DuraVent was purchased by Simpson Manufacturing. In 2008 DuraVent acquired both the Ventinox product line from America Boa, and ProTech Systems, the highly respected manufacturer of Hearth, HVAC and PHC products. With a broad range of engineered venting products, DuraVent has earned its reputation as the industry leader by offering innovative, safe, professional products for the HVAC and Hearth markets.

M&G DuraVent is dedicated to one thing...focusing on the design and manufacture of venting products. As experts in this industry, our team is passionate about creating innovative, quality products. We invest in equipment with the latest technology to develop and test venting products that are engineered to one standard, excellence. All measuring equipment is calibrated to the same levels as used by testing agencies, and are compliant with ISO 17025, the test laboratory standard. Wind Tunnel Laboratory The wind tunnel lab allows us to gather precise data with 180 degrees of measurement on terminations. All data is anaylized for product performance under rigorous conditions before going to market. Appliance Testing M&G DuraVent offers appliance testing for OEM's. Rain Testing M&G labs test the vapor/moisture barrier of products by subjecting them to extreme rain and wind conditions. These tests are more stringent than required in the US and Canada. Climate Testing M&G labs have developed a patented ice testing system in the climate room. Tests run to -4 degrees F. PolyPro terminations are engineered to remain icicle free. OEM Product Development M&G DuraVent engineeers are expertly skilled to develop venting components to OEM specs. To satisfy specific venting requirements, DuraVent has the experience to provide custom design, prototyping and testing of vent systems and components engineered to the demands of specific appliances.
PolyPro PolyPro® is a polypropylene ULC-S636 Gas Vent - BH, Class II (248°F max) venting system for the North American continent. PolyPro is engineered for use with category II & IV condensing appliances, is corrosion resistant and utilizes gaskets that enable rapid and adhesive free assembly. Available in 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, 6” and 8” diameters. PVC pipes are commonly used for venting water heaters, condensing boilers and warm air furnaces, yet PVC was never designed for such use. No other plastic contains or releases as many dangerous chemicals. It poses dangerous environmental health hazards in its manufacture, product life, and disposal. PVC is unfit for safe venting. An environmentally safe alternative is PolyPro, new to the U.S. and Canadian market by DuraVent, for condensing gas appliances. Engineered for venting, it is 100% recyclable, contains no toxic or carcinogenic materials, chlorides, or heavy metals, as found in PVC. It does not release hazardous gases during combustion, and has been used safely throughout Europe for over fifteen years. PolyPro has a higher operating temperature of 248degrees ( PVC is 149 degrees max). PolyPro is engineered with a corrosion-free, condensation management system. DuraVent’s PolyPro is available for solutions requiring single-wall, concentric, manifold and other engineered uses.
Terminations DuraVent’s PolyPro terminations are lab tested to handle harsh weather and remain icicle free in freezing temperatures. Air circulation and weather conditions like rain, wind and ice have the potential to reduce the efficiency of a units performance and the operation of it's venting system. M&G DuraVent has designed its terminations for a tight, leak-free system that does not allow icicle formations.

Typical Installation, Flex
A polypropylene vent system for condensing appliances that offers superior environmental, performance, and installation advantages over PVC / CPVC. Environmental Advantages • 100% recyclable. • No leaching or off-gassing of heavy metals or carcinogens. Releases only oxygen and carbon dioxide when burned. • Resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons generated by gas combustion. • Resistant to acids and bases. • No chlorides in PolyPro, unlike PVC. Performance Advantages: • Ideal for all condensing appliances. • ULC S636. • Extra thick wall means it is more stable & secure. • Tight seal at every joint...expands and contracts. with weather and temperature changes, so there is no flexing or cracking in the venting. • Terminations remain icicle free in freezing weather. • Interior of 90° elbows are 88° to prevent standing condensation. • Higher sustained operating temperatures than PVC. • Corrosion resistant. Installation Advantages: • No flammable, messy or harmful glues, cements or solvents needed at connections. • No wait for glue curing time during installation. • Screws into studs for a sturdy and secure brace. • Time saving wall bracket clips quickly and easily to PolyPro pipe. • Lightweight and easy to install. • Gasketed connections make easy removal and replacement of components.
