Gas furnace exhaust under new deck 05 05 2017 06 24 am.
Gas furnace venting under deck.
So now the 4 exhaust vents are under the deck landing.
Relocate the vent to an area not under the deck.
We have two gas furnaces for dual zone heating cooling.
The exhaust is now directed under the deck.
The deck was added to the back of a house that has a high efficiency trane furnace that exhausts through 4 pvc pipe.
The nearest door or window is at least 16 feet away.
First of all it s against the code because the vapors which furnace produces will condensate on the joists.
Hello we just finished having a new deck built at our house.
In short some say venting under a deck is fine as long as there is good venting and the other says it needs to stick out passed the deck by a bit.
The deck is 15 x35 with timbertech decking and railing and has solid wood skirting around the sides.
The different types of venting.
I have a contractor who is replacing a rusted furnace vent on a 15 yr old furnace.
How would i do it if the furnace concentric vent will be right under it.
I live in the portland oregon area.
He is replacing the vent and wants to know if it s ok to terminate below the deck approx 1 lower than the old vent and the deck is 4 off the ground open on 3 sides.
Venting under deck i have 2 trinitys venting under decks and in both cases i extended the exhaust out past the edge and insulated the exposed portion i would think from a building point of view that you could have ice build up.
Another issue i see is that any exhaust for a high efficiency gas appliance must be insulated when being run in an unconditioned space such as in a garage or running under a deck.
After original construction a landing was added off a wrap around deck that is over the top of this systems room.
The vent was run through a ledger board of a deck in the joist bay and out the rim joist.
The systems room containing 4 water heaters 3 provide hydronic heat for radiant floor heating and 1 for dhw is an exterior room off a walk out basement.
Well making sure that you choose the right venting style will protect them.
When we are talking about gas furnace vent pipe code we need to talk about the different types of the vents first after all you want to keep your family safe from harm.
I m also curious if this violates code.
Cut some sort of hatch in the deck that i can lift up hinges when i need to clean the exhaust vent.
The exhausts for these furnaces are now directly underneath the deck.
High efficiency furnace vent under deck im in the midst of getting some furnace quotes and im getting mixed replies for one particular situation that s bugging me.
Run an extension of ducting from the foundation vent all the way to the edge of the deck.
