I understand totally and will work harder to make them better.
They are mostly conserved on the fly, so to speak Michel.
I am usually multi-tasking.
Thanks.... Robert

This is the only adapter I have used or seen to go from CPVC to copper.

Never use pvc in this area . It never looks safe to me when it comes to heat . And that gas line looks rather close to the vent .

That vent should not be to hot. Its a mufti purpose or duel-vent from what I see. The cpvc 90 angle is almost up against the vent.
The pipe has an inner pipe.
2 pipes in one.
The outer is for cold air for combustion and the inner is for the hot exhaust fumes.
There will be no heat issues.
The cpcv should be no problem on that setup.

Looking at the base of the stack, I you are right.
