Actually, in a certain demented sort of way, Transite is recognized by current code/standards, for current code/standards state that generally, an older building does not need to be brought up to current code/standards except in specific circumstances and conditions.

I believe the code is quite clear about following manufactures installation guidelines. I am having trouble locating any that call out Transite Flue Pipe.

Transite is covered under asbestos since Johns Manville has definitively stated that Transite does, indeed, contain asbestos.
