randynavarro Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 So here's a situation: In the garage, this gas furnace and water heater. . . . Click to Enlarge 47.32 KB Vent out through this. . . . Click to Enlarge 53.4 KB There's this problem. . . Click to Enlarge 52.81 KB And this problem inside the water heater. . . Click to Enlarge 56.01 KB I've called for replacement of the water heater, and major re-configuration of the b-vent outside to either bring it inside the house (where it was originally), or build an insulated chase around it to keep the ambient temp. around the vent warmer. Furnace guy and water heater guys say nothing wrong - nothing needs replacing. I can't find specific info. right now that talks about b-vent runs outside. In fact, there may not be anything but I haven't turned over every stone yet. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randynavarro Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks, Darren. After perusing on and off for the last day or so, that's about the only credible source I've located thus far. I'm surprised. Seems like such common sense to not stick that much vent outside in a cold climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
