Precision design and construction of the 430 stainless steel flue eliminate the need for gaskets and reduce leaks, enhancing product dependability and safety.

New Technology
The special double-wall construction of Metal-Fab Direct Vent allows direct vent stoves and fireplaces to operate without using air from inside the building. These direct vent appliances draw combustion air in from outdoors through the direct vent system, meaning that warm inside air is not being used to fuel the appliance. The appliance burns efficiently without creating fumes, condensation or smoke in the room.
