rjw Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Are those flues on the right of the pic #2? I'd be a lot more concerned with their configuration and the paper insulation facing up close to the one.
tbird Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Posted January 20, 2007 Bob, Those are 3 flues entering one main stack, and yes, the clearances to combustibles are not right. Good Call.

Copper to galvanized connection leads to .... Have a great one. Copper & steel only corrode if there's a liquid electrolye present. I doubt it'd be much of an issue in my climate. Don't know about yours. I've seen copper water pipes going through ducts many times on older houses but I've never seen a problem because of it. Looks like a non-issue to me. I see other stuff in those pictures though. . . - Jim Katen, Oregon
rjw Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 FWIW, my understanding is that, besides corrosion from dissimilar metals, other concerns can include leaks/condensation/mold inside the ducts, and "unplanned air exchange/leakage" in the ducts.
fqp25 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 I would report Poor Workmanship, which should be re-configured. Now if it was a gas line, that's another story...
