A PVC Vent Cap designed for the exposed opening of PVC vent pipes on roofs was born in 2003 when Ken Brown, an experienced Air Conditioning and Heating contractor with KIRA Inc., a contracted company for military housing at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma was inundated with numerous repairs occurring from elemental exposures of open PVC pipes. When asked what to do about the problem, he responded that he would find a suitable vent pipe cap to install on the pipes to help protect them from the elements. To his surprise, he was unable to find a vent pipe cap that the base officials agreed upon as suitable. That was when he spoke up and told them that he could make one. He was given 30 days to come up with a vent cap. Working diligently, he developed a suitable vent pipe cover that the base officials approved of. The E-Cap was born.

 

In the beginning it was only available to supply houses and contractors, commercially. Homeowners soon began to express the desire to purchase and install the E-Cap themselves. JAF Industries was created.

 

JAF Industries was created, in 2005, to reach out to the general public with a new concept to inform and help homeowners with the dilemma facing them in protecting their open and exposed PVC pipes. JAF Industries created a virtual town, called Sunnytowne. In Sunnytowne, all seems well until you look on the roofs and see a whole different scenario. You see a lonely PVC pipe, named Pipey, who is being picked on and battling forces that are out to stop him up and causing him to become sick and bloated. With the people down below not aware that before their very eyes their homes are being invaded, a hero is needed to save the day. Pipey dreams of a hero who comes along called, ‘Fit the Wonder Cap’. He comes on the scene with a solution to Pipey’s dilemma. He will put on an E-cap that will protect Pipey from the elements out to harm Pipey, and in the process cost the homeowners time and expenses.

 

A video about the adventures of Fit the Wonder Cap and Pipey was created and soon thereafter an interactive video game called "Homeowner's Revenge," is quite entertaining and was produced to help homeowners learn about the problems facing them and discover the solution to the real problems that are facing them.

 

JAF Industries targets the E-Cap for use on 90%+ Furnace vent pipes, PVC plumbing vent pipes, and Radon vent pipes.
