For applications where hydronic heating is available Heat-Line manufacturers the ArcticVent product in a hydronic model by special order.ĪrcticVent is constructed with LEXAN® for high strength in severe cold. The ArcticVent is constructed with a center longitudinal tether to ensure any ice formations within the vent stack melt fully and do not dislodge prior.

While it is recommended to operate ArcticVent under continuous power in the colder months for freeze maintenance, it can be powered when required to thaw a frozen plumbing stack. This remarkable, energy-efficient product uses small amounts of energy to keep vents open in temperatures less than -50 degrees F (-46C). Adapting the ArcticVent to existing vents could not be easier as the system is compatible with both ABS and PVC vent stack materials, and is provided with a two-part specialized epoxy to complement the joining of dissimilar plastics.

The ArcticVent is designed to retro-fit standard 3-inch plumbing vent stacks and can retro-fit existing vents as large as 6 inches with the use of readily available plumbing adapters. The result is pungent, unhealthy air backing up inside the building which can be dangerous to the inhabitants.ĪrcticVent can be used in new installations or to retro-fit existing vent stacks where a freeze protected plumbing vent stack is required. Persistent cold temperatures cause plumbing vents to ice up and form a blockage as humid air rises, condenses and freezes. Transportation & Recreational Vehicle WinterizationĪrcticVent is installed in applications where ice blockages occur in plumbing vents due to accumulated condensation in prolonged freezing temperatures.
