Yes Uncle Bob, we know the all powerful, Building Official. Absolute Power leads to corruption, oh wait, that is on the other thread......
 
Your still my hero UB. It is amazing what some of the fireplace manufacturer's will allow and even recommend for combustion air. I enjoy your pictures. What were you doing on site on a Sunday though? Please refer to thread on code addiction for help if needed.
 
I'm not sure on everyone’s final decision on the matter of the white fex duct, but we make the installer show a listing as a class "0" or class "1" duct per M1601.1. or flame spread index rating. The result has always been the duct has no listing and is replaced. From personal experience, the old white duct seems to be very brittle and is breaking down when exposed on remodel jobs.

Steve,

Welcome to the forum. We look forward to more of your participation in the forums.

You may want to provide information about yourself so we will know who and where we are exchanging information with. By your title and your post it appears you are an inspector. What neck of the woods are you in?

Glad to have you on board.

Post or ask away....we are all family here!
