V. Masonry Chimneys

Manual backgroundManual background WARNING

Possibility of property damage, personal injury, or death - Damaging condensation can occur inside masonry chimneys when a single fan assisted Category I appliance (80% AFUE furnace) is vented without adequate dilution air. Do not connect an 80% furnace to a masonry chimney unless the furnace is common vented with a draft hood equipped appliance, or the chimney is lined with a metal liner or Type B metal vent. All installations using Masonry chimneys must be sized in accordance with the appropriate Venting Tables.

If an 80% furnace is common vented with a draft hood equipped appliance, the potential for condensation damage may still exist with extremely cold conditions, long vent connectors, exterior chimneys, or any combination of these conditions. The risk of condensation damage is best avoided by using the masonry chimney as a pathway for properly sized metal liner or Type B metal vent.
