I am installing the flue pipe for the new furnace I installed for my dad. I measure and cut the metal exhaust pipe.I leak search the new gas piping with a bubble solution. Afterward, ​I paint the gas pipe.

I like that the furnace/ac system is located in an outside closet...easy to work on. And you probably don't hear any noise from inside the house when it's on.

B vent should be used even if the code allows for single wall flue pipe. Reason being condensate. B vent is actually made with 2 walls. The interior wall is aluminum and designed to heat quickly and stay warm. This keeps the water in the gases from condensing and running back down into your furnace. Also, that water will rust out your single wall pipe (dangerous Co possibility) and the interior top of your furnace. You can order online in 4" sizes from 6" to 60' and the pieces just twist together so it's easy to do.

If I have condensation issues I will change it. Many condo units here I kept single wall vent pipe and no crusty ness by screws or stains as if it’s condensing. Yet I also seen many applications where the pipe rots out quickly from condensation. I own the unit it’s my dads place. Yet we are renting it out currently since my dad is living out of the country for a few years

@@thehvachacker , considering you're furnace and venting is in a conditioned area, the national codes (National Fuel Code and Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association GAMA) do not require a B vent for installation . It is nice if a B vent is installed & KevFlaAVCHD is correct it can eliminate condensing problems especially when 80 plus furnaces are installed in colder basements.

I thought B-Vents were needed due to the fact that the flanges are made for sealing well to keep backpressure from leaking out CO-2

Single walled vent connector for gas requires a 6" clearance to combustibles. Min. 3 screws per joint equidistantly spaced. I recommend the vertical seam face where you can inspect it and not hide it. The pipe should be supported.

I've learned over the years, never put pipe seams down and no screws within 30 degrees of the pipe bottom. why? while the newer high efficiency furnaces don't condense internally, they always do inside the piping when there's long off-cycles and high humidity basements.. the screw holes are a highway for corrosion to eat them away, as is cold water piping above them sweating and dripping or valve leaking.. I've replaced many that look OK on the outside, then you touch them and the crimped end turns to rust/dust powder inside the next pipe/fitting!

Interesting, few questions. 1.Are you guys required to paint indoor gas pipe? 2. How come you installed a mid efficient furnace? (I'm guessing it would have been a pain to get the venting out the side of the house?) In Ontario, Canada i don't think we can even get mid efficient furnaces anymore. Also we aren't allowed to use street 90's or closed nipples for gas which sucks because there has been many a time it would have helped make the job go easier.

It's in a outside closet attached to buiding. That space is most likely not condition. Condensing furnaces more or a chance to freeze in that condition. My personal preference is to never install a condensing or high efficient furnace in attic or outside closet. I have seen it 2 times in my career where condensing furnace in attic broke because something failed in furnace. Furnace now sitting for a couple days not running . attic temp is 5 degrees on arrival. Water that was in secondary heat exchanger froze and cracked secondary heat exchanger. Because of little probelm like ignitor or clogged pressure switch tubing cause a much bigger more expensive problem. I will always install 80% furnace in attic or outside closet.....

@@pineychristian , this furnace is in a conditioned room, you can see the register above the furnace plenum. To our Canadian friends to the north, yes we still can buy 80% efficient furnaces down here in the United States ( they're cheaper and a little more reliable than the 90 pluses). The American Gas Association has to fight every year to keep them but we have too many apartment complexes & condo complexes that makes installing 90 plus furnaces in-practical and cost-prohibitive, not to mention the problems jj109 mentioned.

@@boby115 it doesn't make a difference if the room is conditioned if a 90% furnace breaks and sits. It has water in secondary and it will freeze. The conditioned space helps when running. I've seen so many frozen drains on 90% furnaces and then furnace shuts down. Once that happens you only have so much time depending on temps and time not running.

The single wall pipe is connected to a chimney liner. My question is would a double wall flue pipe help with condensation?

Might want to consider Type B venting pipe for your flue, single wall requires a 6" clearance from combustibles, yet the double wall type b vent only needs 1", this should help keep the heat inside the first layer. Only think is that it can't be cut so you must use the standard pipe lengths.
