Mike Lamb Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have an old brick chimney which has a new metal liner installed for the furnace and also has the insulated AC line set running up next to it to the roof. I am trying to find the coded reference that says no to this. This is what I have come up with: 1801.4 Space around lining. The space surrounding a flue lining system or other vent installed within a masonry chimney shall not be used to vent any other appliance. This shall not prevent the installation of a separate flue lining in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and this code. Thanks.

Marc Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'll bet no code forming committee ever imagined that one day someone would stick an AC line set within a retired masonry flue alongside a metal liner. Don't know of such a code prohibition. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks. I went with the single wall vent needing a 6" min. clearance from combustibles. They should have run the line-set up the outside wall which was do-able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
