FREEDOM FLEX FEATURES
Freedom Flex Venting systems are top
of the line when it comes to materials,
cost efficiency and convenience with
proven durability for 25 years. Made with
two layers of rolled aluminum, our flexible
vent pipes pass each and every certification
test, exceeding industry standards.
Unlike aluminized steel and galvalume,
our vent pipes are manufactured of
100% aluminum material and made to
withstand the corrosive condensates
from combustion.
COST EFFECTIVE.
Not only does Freedom Flex cost up to 80% less than competitors’
rigid vent, but an installation with Freedom Flex takes less than half the time!
FEWER PIECES AND CONNECTIONS NEEDED.
Leading to less time and labor and less likely to leak.
SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION BECAUSE OF EXPANDING LENGTHS.
No wasted time measuring each section and up and down ladders or
finding you forgot an elbow joint and delaying your install.
ADAPTABILITY FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS OR A CHANGE
IN THE POSITION OF THE FIREPLACE.
Often the fireplace position may be “tweaked” for design purposes, which
could require new parts and an offset in rigid venting as well as the need
to disconnect and reconnect. With Freedom Flex, just bend or stretch to
the new angle. Simple!
LESS WASTE.
Used effectively, sections of Freedom Flex pipe that are cut off can be
used in other fireplace applications offering additional cost savings.

CONVENIENCE.
Freedom Flex is light weight and comes in 5' and 10' vent lengths that are
compressed down to 20" and 40" lengths respectively to help not only with
warehouse storage and work truck space, but also with the ease of handling.
TESTING STANDARDS
Our Freedom Flexible aluminum vent is produced from type
3003 aluminum alloy. Like rigid vent, it must meet the test
requirements that are contained in the harmonized safety
standards for vented gas fireplaces, ANSI Z21.88/ CSA 2.33
and ANSI Z21.50/ CSA 2.22. Beyond that, flexible vent must
meet specific test requirements that are contained in UL 1777
Chimney Liners and ULC-S635 Standard for Lining Systems for
Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents. In short,
Freedom Flex not only meets the same ANSI standards as other
direct vent rigid pipe but also meets additional standards!

TIME IN LABOUR WHEN INSTALLING FREEDOM
FLEX COMPARED TO RIGID VENTING
Our flex venting system allows installers to maneuver
around any obstacles without multiple parts. A few
bends in the flexible venting will take you around a wall
joist and continue on, while rigid venting requires you
to stop and get elbow offsets and seal the connection,
consuming more parts, labor and therefore, money.
Our flexible venting system comes in 5' and 10' lengths
that can compress down to 20" and 40" respectively
in size, saving warehouse and truck space while
contributing to ease of handling. Have a fireplace

installation with a 30' vent run going through two floor
levels with multiple offsets? Order three 10' lengths
and using two sets of couplers, seal and connect them
together. Feed the venting through your firestops and
connect to the fireplace collars and vertical terminal.
Support every horizontal portion, every three feet and
secure the vent pipe system into its final position to
ensure clearance to combustibles are maintained. Your
vent pipe installation is complete in a fraction of the
time it would take to install a rigid vent pipe system,
with more time left over for more installs in a day.

FLEX VS RIGID COMPLEX INSTALL
The images below show you the difference in parts needed for the complex install (seen on page 3) with rigid venting and the
same install with Freedom Flex venting. This isn’t only about saving costs, this also affects the room in your work truck and
the storage in your warehouse. Imagine how simple and easy it could be with Freedom Flex!
