About DuraVent
About DuraVent
DuraVent was founded in 1956 and has spent nearly seven decades developing venting solutions for gas and solid-fuel appliances, starting with Type B vents and later introducing industry-first products including PelletVent and DirectVent systems. That history of introducing new venting categories rather than just competing on price has made DuraVent a recognized name among HVAC contractors and appliance installers.
Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan with 15 locations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, DuraVent's product range today spans Type B gas vents, direct vent coaxial systems, polypropylene condensing appliance vents, pellet vent, flexible chimney liners, and all-fuel venting products. The 2021 acquisition of the 100-year-old Hart & Cooley brand tripled the size of the organization, and the company now operates as part of Duravent Group, combining over a century of venting and air control expertise.
DuraVent components show up wherever a water heater, furnace, fireplace insert, or pellet stove needs to be safely vented to the outside, from residential retrofits to commercial boiler rooms. On ChatMRO, buyers can search by DuraVent part number or describe the appliance and venting type they need and get matched to the right system.

What was the significance of the Hart & Cooley acquisition?
DuraVent acquired the 100-year-old Hart & Cooley brand in 2021, a move that tripled the size of the combined organization and broadened its venting and air control product offering. Hart & Cooley's long history in air distribution complemented DuraVent's core venting business.
What is the difference between Type B vent and direct vent systems?
Type B vent is a double-wall metal vent typically used for natural draft gas appliances that draw combustion air from the surrounding room, while direct vent systems use a sealed coaxial pipe to draw combustion air from outside and exhaust directly outside as well. DuraVent manufactures both categories along with pellet vent and flexible liners for different appliance and installation requirements.
