randynavarro Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Something doesn't seem quite right but I can't cite something specific. Its a natural gas, zero-clearance fireplace that's venting into the original 12" metal flue / chimney from the pre-fab wood burning fireplace that was there. Is this OK?

hausdok Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Is the flue intact, are the flue sections connected and locked together all the way up, and does it meet the requirements for the flue pipe that are required by the manufacturer? Bet you can't answer the first couple - only a sweep doing a level II is going to be able to answer those, unless that flue is really, really short and really, really clean. OT - OF!!! M.

randynavarro Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm thinking something more about the larger diameter; not supposed to increase the flue size more than 2x or something along those lines. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sounds doubtful at best to me. Factory built units are designed and listed to work as a package only with the vent system supplied by the mfr. I'd check w/ the manufacturer.
