B-Vent and Sprinkler Pipe

[Brian E. Kelly]

Seems a little close to me

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

I would have to agree. . .

It does not seem very clever does it. The fire sprinkler piping had a temp rating 150 F.
I do not like going in attics with plastic sprinkler pipes as it is.

Brian,

I agree. You would think the genius' would know about the min.1" clearances on "B"vent to combustible materials. I wonder what the Local Bldg.Insp. was thinking when he passed this installation.

Hi to all,

I think you guys are failing to see the simplicity of this design. Flue overheats, melts sprinkler piping, cools down vent. What is your problem with that design??

BTW, for the uninitiated I am of course Joking!!

Brilliant O'boy, simply brilliant.
I'll look for more brilliance like that, when you come back to the Atlanta area for another Comm. Insp. coarse. WOW, will they be impressed :>)

This should definitely fail inspection as the flute pipe is to close to the water line. It should be a 1 inch clearence around the flute pipe. Either the water line must be moved or the flute pipe. It should be marked in need of repair.
