    Gray PVC - 1969?

    Was gray PVC ever manufactured? This house was built in 1969. I have a section of the original HVAC condensate pipe I need to repair, and the OD and ID of the existing pipe match the measurements of 3/4" pvc pipe. I'd like to figure out what this material is so I can use the appropriate glue.

    Exterior HVAC Vent Acceptable?

    Our builder installed a concentrix vent outside our house. We asked them to fix it because it was too low to the ground if we had a big snowfall. So they split the vent for intake and exhaust. See pictures. There is no screen or anything at the ends. Is this acceptable?
