If the existing chimney will not accommodate a listed meta
liner, either the chimney must be rebuilt to accommodate
one of these liners or an alternate approved venting
method must be found.
Insulation for the exible vent pipe must be an encapsulated
berglass sleeve recommended by the exible vent pipe
manufacturer. See Figure 17.
Figure 17. Common Venting Using Metal-Lined
Masonry Chimney
NOTE 1: Refer to the provided venting tables for installations.
Refer to the capacity requirements shown in the provided venting
tables.
DO NOT insulate the space between the liner and the
chimney wall with pu󰀨ed mica or any other loose granular
insulating material.
A fan assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
• The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance.
• The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables.
SINGLE appliance venting of a fan assisted furnace into
a tile lined masonry chimney (interior or outside wall) is
prohibited. The chimney must rst be lined with either
type B1 vent or an insulated single wall exible vent
lining system which has been sized according to the
provided venting tables and the vent pipe manufacturer’s
instructions.
IMPORTANT
If type B1 double wall vent is used inside a chimney, no
other appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer
wall of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to ue
products. A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall
terminate above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed
roof assembly according to the terms of their respective
listings and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting. The chimney passageway must be
checked periodically to ensure that it is clear and free of
obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or ue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is
servicing a solid-fuel appliance. If a replace chimney ue
is used to vent this appliance, the replace opening must
be permanently sealed.
A type B1 or listed chimney lining system that passes
through an unused masonry chimney ue is not considered
to be exposed to the outdoors.
