Robert E Lee Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 When looking at the (2) masonry fireplaces that had been converted to gas log units in yesterday mornings inspection I found that the shut off valves were not within 6' of the appliance, no blocking device in place on the main floor fireplace. However they didn't have to worry about the damper being closed on the basement fireplace as the flexible stainless tubing was run down through the chimney!! Anyone ever seen such an arrangement?

[:-dunce] Unbelievable. [:-sour] Every time you think you've seen it all, something like this comes along. []
BlackJack Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 If the gas compamy were to be notified they would red tag it.
