Bain Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 No good. Gotta reconfigure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Are those flues on the right of the pic #2? I'd be a lot more concerned with their configuration and the paper insulation facing up close to the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Bob, Those are 3 flues entering one main stack, and yes, the clearances to combustibles are not right. Good Call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper to galvanized connection leads to .... Have a great one. Copper & steel only corrode if there's a liquid electrolye present. I doubt it'd be much of an issue in my climate. Don't know about yours. I've seen copper water pipes going through ducts many times on older houses but I've never seen a problem because of it. Looks like a non-issue to me. I see other stuff in those pictures though. . . - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 FWIW, my understanding is that, besides corrosion from dissimilar metals, other concerns can include leaks/condensation/mold inside the ducts, and "unplanned air exchange/leakage" in the ducts.

fqp25 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I would report Poor Workmanship, which should be re-configured. Now if it was a gas line, that's another story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
