Exterminators everywhere are installing E-Caps to protect vent and flue pipes from common invaders like birds and squirrels as well as not-so-common intruders like rodents, tree frogs....even snakes! Installing E-Caps not only protects all exterior pipes but helps many exterminators fulfill their exclusion contracts by keeping out these unwanted pests. The constant exposure to different weather conditions, UV light, heat, and chemicals from furnace gases requires a material with high resilience. We found that the outdoor durability, UV and chemical resistance, and thermal stability of GE's GELOY CR7520 resin surpassed all alternatives. GELOY resin from GE gives the E-Cap a number of important attributes, including resistance, oxidative degradation, and an attractive glossy appearance. The E-Cap is a hemispherical plastic cover that can be easily installed over the open end of a high-efficiency gas furnace flue pipe. To ensure that our innovative product offers the highest level of weather resistance and durability, we chose GELOY CR7520 acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) resin from GE Advanced Materials instead of conventional PVC or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin.

- FOUR DOZEN CAPS
There are a number of reasons why the E-Cap should be your choice for protecting vents and flue pipes. Under-protected pipes or P-traps can allow moisture, debris, or animals down the intake and vent flue of your HVAC or other equipment, shortening the life of the unit and damaging your investment.
E-Cap Offers
- Superior design, function, and price in comparison to other conventional concentric vents
- Faster and easier installation than P-trap vents
- Resistant to heat, cold, precipitation, and UV radiation
- Protects furnace motor and interior from damaging due to moisture and debris
- Promotes unrestricted airflow of both intake and vent flue – will never freeze up with condensation
- Precisely and quickly fits 1.5”, 2”, and 3” PVC pipe with standard PVC glue
- Works perfectly in either vertical or horizontal flue pipe installations
- Can be used on all PVC-vented high-efficiency applications, such as HVAC exhausts and intakes, plumbing, radon gas vents, and high-efficiency tankless water heaters
