1. If the furnace’s exhaust is connected to a masonry chimney,
the masonry chimney must be free of cracks that could leak
exhaust gases or fly ash. a relining of the chimney with ei-
ther PL vent or single wall stainless steel pipe may be neces-
sary to bring the chimney into compliance.

cap and finish it off with a rain cap. a single wall liner may
need to be wrapped with insulation to maintain adequate
exhaust temperatures when outside temperatures drop be-

The 50F furnace may be connected to an existing class a chimney or a masonry chimney which meets the
