The deck was added to the back of a house that has a high efficiency Trane furnace that exhausts through 4″ PVC pipe. The exhaust is now directed under the deck. The deck is 15’x35′ with Timbertech decking and railing and has solid wood skirting around the sides. With the 1/8″ gaps between all the deck and skirt boards, I estimate there ...
Mike Simonsen of Black Diamond, Wash., quickly learned that the hardware store doesn’t sell a product to keep birds and critters out of a 3-in. HVAC pipe that exited the side of his house. Using a 2×6, a hole saw, and some hardware cloth, Mike rigged-up his own solution to screen the pipe.
Tape the sides. Cut two strips of 4-in.- to 6-in.-wide asphalt flashing tape and apply it over the sides of the flashing pan and onto the shingle and underlayment. Keep the tape above the shingle’s self-seal strip, and let it extend 1 in. to 2 in. above the pan. Keep the edge of the tape about 1 ⁄ 2 in. away from the pan’s bell.
The flue pipe for the furnace and HWH are both in great condidtion. There are no signs of deteriotation even at joints. The Furnace vent and HWH vent meet at a "Y" fitting then go up through the attic and roof. The rust is only at the very top of the vent pipe. Its is maybe only 25% of the area of the pipe.

They do call for slope up from the furnace, so that condensate is recovered from within the furnace. but later on they also call for heat tape to be applied if the exhaust run is done so water may collect if in an area that could be below freezing. If you are dumping the condensate right outside the ...
The passageway clearance need only be 22 in. wide and 30 in. tall, so put on your kneepads for what could be up to a 20-ft.-maximum crawl. If the passageway has at least 6 ft. of vertical clearance (across the whole 22-in. width), you can walk it up to a maximum 50 ft. The passageway must be built with solid flooring in accordance with Chapter ...
Screens on funace intake/exhaust PVC. Bill4427 | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on October 2, 2006 08:15am. I recently had a high energy furnace installed with PVC pipe for the air intake and heat exhaust. The PVC sticks out of the side of the house and the guy who installed the furnace said not to put any screening over the pipe ...
A fan is still needed. This fan also provides a positive pressure in the venting system, so it needs to be a sealed system, which means either plastic pipe or special metal venting. Class A,B or C venting cannot be used. The air intake and the exhaust usually need to be within about 2 feet of each other.
Furnace vent/roof leak. bergsteiger1 | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on September 29, 2006 06:36am. During very hard rains, water runds down the sides of my sheet metal flue into my furnace room. Standing in the attic, I can see a sliver of daylight between the flue and the flange that surrounds it and connects to the roof decking.
Is there a product to quiet the loud exhaust sound (outside) from a direct vent furnace (or boiler)? There has been discussion from homeowners of the low "roar" that the high efficiency units emit. In this case,, the unit is a Rheem and the piping I believe is 2", pitched correctly. I don't know if the piping can be upsized to reduce flow rate. I assume someone has to manufacture an attenuator ...
