Hi everyone!
What do you think about this flue connection. Furnace is on the bottom. Does it need any "silver" HVAC tape around it? For some reason I got suspicious. Thanks! |

No but it needs to have a metal vent collar where it goes through the sheetrock and 1" from combustibles.
If it's a Type-B vent which it looks like anyway. Dale Duffy Inspect Arizona Companies, Inc. Phoenix Home Inspectors, Inc. Scottsdale Home Inspectors, Inc. Infraspection Certified Thermographer 602.402.5305 Home Hints eNews

Thanks guys!
I knew something was wrong with it. But I think I had my brain frozen or something (it's 8 degrees outside). I appreciate your input! |

Hi Brian
This looks like a B-vent so 1" clearance would apply up here. |
