You have tried the inexpensive items. To prevent acidic moisture corrosion, you need high-quality stainless steel products. This corrosion is a byproduct of high efficiency. High efficiency appliances remove heat to produce that higher efficiency; when the vent gases fall below dew point, they corrode. Plastic products were meant for that purpose, but were found to have cracking problems in cold climates. Below is a list of manufacturers and suppliers of stainless venting products and competitors. http://www.heat-fab.com/content/product/saftvent_desc_con.html http://www.slantfin.com/boilerpdf/V-40.pdf http://www.tjernlund.com/oilsidewall.html http://www.tjernlund.com/gassidewall.htm http://www.fieldcontrols.com/swg.html http://www.fieldcontrols.com/indoor.venters.html http://www.weyrkeep.com/duravent/ http://www.selkirkusa.com/ http://www.ncsg.org/members/sweeping/10-96.htm http://www.ncsg.org/members/sweeping/04-89.htm http://www.exhausto.com/US_Home/rsselct.htm http://www.americanchimney.com/relining.htm http://obc.mah.gov.on.ca/opinions/part9/plast-ve.htm http://www.landrassocinc.com/landr%20linecard.htm http://www.homesteadheating.com/index.htm
