Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Retrofit demand for boilers, furnaces, and water heaters supports System 1738 sales.
  • Certified bundle sales drive pull-through for fittings, terminations, primer, and cement.
  • Training inspectors and distributors can expand code acceptance and specification wins.

What critics are saying

  • Other UL 1738 products already commoditize the compliance story.
  • Uneven local enforcement slows adoption and weakens contractor pull-through.
  • PVC-specific venting exposure rises if codes or OEM preferences shift toward alternatives.

What makes IPEX unique

  • IPEX pairs UL 1738-certified venting with a complete pipe-and-cement system.
  • System 1738 targets high-efficiency appliance retrofit markets, not generic venting.
  • Its 10-year limited warranty supports premium positioning in life-safety applications.
