Insulate or sleeve furnace exhaust

Chemist1961 · 01-28-2009, 05:05 PM

My HE Carrirer furnace was installed today. Exhaust / intake pipes seem to be 2 1/2" PVC through 2X10 rim and brick. Should these be sleeved? Is there a recommended clearance radius horizontally?

We had to cut back a shrub and my wife is ticked

Buy the wife a new ring. Your furnace is ok as is. If the bush had not been removed it would have died from the fumes which are dilute hydrochloric acid.

RING?

Thanks HVL, I think I'll just buy her a new shrub and plant it further away...

See

Was that so hard?

Chicks never understand the aesthetics of the mechanical. It's a guy thing.

One of the most beautiful things is the world is a 440 hemi with a six pack being pulled from a '73 Challenger .

It's OK, but I Never liked that body style too much.. I had a '73 Roadrunner when I got out of the Army in 1973. Imagine my disappointment when i heard the word "Catalytic Converter" for the first time. It had a 340 Cuin engine that was a total dog.

HA! My E250 360 van is faster with a full load than that old PIS was.

You got any thing fast parked in the drive?

Just long gone dreams. I always liked the early Chargers and Roadrunners... Super Bees, 4 years in auto shop in highschool we had mid 60's pony cars Mustangs Camaros and Barracudas. Small blocks, big blocks and HEMIS, Mopar was very respected... All the ones I wished I'd bought and kept..and never did. Rich man's toys now.
It's out of my range still but there something new I like. LEXUS ISF, F is for FUJI race track, seriously fast...and nice throaty rumble
