Neal Lewis Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 This is a brand new chimney liner installed for the gas water heater and furnace. I had to do a double take since it looks so new and shiny. The house is only 60 years old and never used oil for heating. Who knows if it actually needed a liner anyway.

Steven Hockstein Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Nice. Was there an inspection approval sticker too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Not to mention the hole in the block wall to hook the second pipe to the chimney was there. Instead of using it for a correct installation, they filled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearthman Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Incredibly stupid and a code violation not only for the up and over, not only the foil tape but how about your 6" clearance to that combustible ceiling? Does the liner extend into the room or is there galvanized steel pipe cemented into the wall? You don't want or need two holes in the wall when you have a listed liner. You pull the liner into the room then manifold it properly. No tape, no dopey up and over--1/4" per LF slope up to the liner. What size Wh and how far away? Total BTU input and liner diameter and height? What does the termination look like? Appliance connections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr6550 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 If there is anyone in the business of installing heating equipment or flue liners that is that stupid they should be shot. There is no excuse for that. I would have tried my best to find out who did that and call him up and have him explain that. If you talked to the owner of the business and he was not aware of that, he should be told. Stuff like that really makes me mad (if you could not tell already).

Tom Raymond Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I routinely advise against using the installer that put his name on the work that makes into my reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plummen Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Yeah that's some really interesting work there,Are you sure theres even a liner in there? Why would anybody go to all the trouble of installing a liner without finishing off the job with b-vent pipe?[:-censore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
