Dalsin Manufacturing introduces a completely leakproof one-piece elbow as a new product addition to the Bio Vent™ complete line of components. The inner flue of the elbow is now made from one continuous piece of stainless steel. Competitors’ pellet-vent elbows have multiple seams in their construction and are manually caulked at each seam. The problem with the caulking method is that if there is any spot on the seam that is missed in manual caulking, the elbow will leak. Contact: (800) 729-9505 or www.dalsinmfg.com.
