Selkirk Model EFC Single Wall Expandable Flex Gas Vent Connector
is designed for use as a connector for Listed gas fired appliances
equipped with draft hoods and other appliances Listed for use with
Type B Gas Vent.
This Single Wall Expandable Flex Connector is designed to simplify
a connection between a gas burning appliance and Type B Gas Vent
systems by eliminating the need for a separate draft hood connec-
tor, straight pipe and elbows, removing the guess work of height
interference sometimes associated with fixed lengths of rigid single
wall or Type B Gas Vent.
Individual lengths are provided with the same type of outlet end
connector as Selkirk Type B Vent, permitting simple attachment.
The EFC Single Wall Expandable Flex Connectors are available
in 3" and 4" diameters and can extend from 24" to 42" (EFC-3)
and from 30" to 60" (EFC-5) in length, allowing a greater range
of installations (see Figure 1).
Selkirk Model EFC Expandable Flex Connector is Listed by Under-
writers Laboratories (UL) for 1" (25mm) airspace clearance to com-
bustibles in an unenclosed installation. At no time should this product
be fully enclosed or pass through a combustible area such as a ceil-
ing, attic, wall, roof joist, or crawl space as it is not Listed as Type B
Gas Vent.
Fig. 1 - EFC is flexible and
expandable to a maximum of
60" length (EFC-5), permitting a
variety of orientations
In using Model EFC, overall considerations should be given to the
following:
a) Make short straight runs where possible;
b) Make no unnecessary bends;
c) Make no bends greater than 90 degrees;
d) Make bends as smooth as possible with no dips or sags;
e) Install with at least a 1/4" per foot (20mm/m) rise.

Never cut or modify the expandable connector length. If neces-
sary, the connector length may be slightly compressed to obtain
proper length (see Figure 2). Extra care must be observed when
bending the flexible connector in the compressed state.
The EFC is packaged in a compressed mode. To extend to the
required length (to a maximum of 60" with EFC-5) stretch the EFC
to the desired length by grasping the ends and pulling in opposite
directions. This may be an easier task for 2 people or by attaching
the inlet end to the water heater's draft hood first.
Fig. 2
- To extend the
EFC, grasp both ends and
pull in opposite directions
until the desired length
is achieved.
To install: Extend inlet end down over
collar of appliance draft hood and se-
cure in place with minimum 3 screws
(not supplied) through the inlet end
extension of the EFC and the collar
of draft hood (see Figure 3). With
the EFC Inlet End secured to the draft
hood, extend the EFC to the required
length and secure the Outlet End of
the EFC to the inlet end of the Type
B Gas Vent.
Secure EFC with a
minimum of 3 sheet
metal screws to collar
of draft hood
If local codes specify use of a "drip tee", you may incorporate a
fixed or adjustable wye or a tee to make the connection to the Type
B Gas Vent (see Figure 3).
