Triple Wall Flue Pipe

[kurt]

I seem to recall these flues cannot deviate more than 30° from vertical. I can't find my reference for this, and maybe I'm imagining it.

I saw one today that's pitched about 50° off vertical. That's bad, right?

Manufacturers' installation instructions.

- Only one offset is permitted

- A max. of (2) 15° or (2) 30° elbows can be used

- mixing combinations of elbows to get other angles is not permitted

Or did you mean the terminating section was 50° off vertical?

There was a 50° angle in the pipe.

Image Edit:

It looks like 45° and it has too many L-blows. That's wrong on all 3 counts that I listed.

Did you get the manufacturer from the sticker? I might have the install instructions.

That's what I thought.

I couldn't get to the thing; access was blocked by ducts & framing. I made the photo by setting the zoom, reaching through a hole, and shooting until I came up w/something. If I coulda got the mfg., I'd look it up.

This place is wonderful. It's like instantaneous service......

I thought you had a camera with a enough zoom to count the eyelashes on a gnat 500 yards away.
