Upon realizing that the chimney venting system was improper, I used the Chim-Scan (a closed-circuit video camera) and thoroughly inspected the interior of the fireplace, steam boiler, and water heater flues. The chimney terminates inside the attic, below the roofline. Improper ventilation of carbon monoxide is extremely hazardous. The water heater flue was completely blocked with masonry debris when the original chimney was removed above the roof. The steam boiler flue also had various debris inside, including soda bottles. We recommend immediately removal of the blockage inside the flues. Then the flue should be properly lined and vented above the roof. The liner material we would use is a double wall pipe system (B-Vent). This liner system would terminate with a bird and rain cover, with the height depending on the pitch of the roof. The steam boiler probably was converted fi.om coal to oil to gas over the years. We feel the B-Vent will handle the total Btu's (steam boiler - 370,000 Btu's & water heater - 36,000 Btu's) even though the flue outlet size (14" round) is larger than the flue size (8" round). The water heater would be attached to the steam boiler connector pipe using a saddle or wye fitting instead of its current excessively long run (see diagram below). The third-floor fireplace creates an offset in the chimney and slight flue size reduction. If the B-Vent does not fit inside the flue, we may have to downsize the liner and use a fan to assist the appliances' draft. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call.

The "Common Vent" is that portion of the system serving two or more connected appliances. If connectors are joined before reaching the vertical vent, the run between the last entering connector and the vertical portion is also treated as part of the common vent. In Figure 3C, the vertical common vent is cross-hatched beginning at the intemonnection tee. HEADINGS tN THE COMBINED VENT TABLES "FAN+FAN" refers to the maximum combined input rating of two or more fan-assisted appliances attached to the common vent. "FAN+NAT" refers to the maximum combined input rating' of one or more fan-assisted appliance and one or more draft hood-equipped appliance attached to the common vent. "NAT+NAT" refers to the maximum combined input rating of two or more draft hood-equipped appliances attached to the common vent. ~3 GENERAL PROCEDURE A. For each connector, the correct size must be found.from the applicable tables based on its appliance input, rise, and least total height. For draft hood (NAT) appliances the outlet size may be too small if there is not enough rise, therefore, connector design involves choosing the correct size and verifying whether use of a connector the same size as the outlet is within input rating limitso B. For the common vent, the capacity table shows maximum combined ratings only. The size of the common vent is thus based on least total height and the combination of attached appliances, FAN+FAN, FAN+NAT, or NAT+NAT. PROCEDURE TO FIND EACH CONNECTOR Use Table III for Metalbestos connectors or Table IV for single wall metal connectors. A. Determine "least total height" for the system. B. Determine connector rise for each appliance. C. Enter the applicable vent connector table at the least total height. Continue across on the line for appliance conng, ctor rise to a MAX input rating equal to or greater than that of the appliance. For a FAN appliance this input rating should also be greater than shown in the MIN column. Read the connector size at the top of the column. If Table IV for single wall shows "NR," use a double wall Metalbestos connector in accordance with Table III. 2~5 PROCEDURE TO F~ND COM~JON VENT S~ZE A. Add all appliance BTU input ratings to get the total BTU input. B. If one or both connectors are single wall metal, use Table IV for the common vent. C. Enter the common vent table at the same least total height used for connectors. D. Continue across and stop at the first applicable column of combined appliance input rating equal to or greater than the total. If Table IV for the common vent shows "NR," the entire system should be double wall Metalbestos. E. Read the size of the common vent at the top of the applicable column (NAT+NAT, FAN+NAT, or FAN+FAN). (1) Regardless of table results for size, the common vent must be at least as large as the largest connector. (2) For NAT+NAT appliance combinations, if both connectors are the same size, the common vent must be at least one size larger. 2-(~ E×AMPLE OF COMBINED VENT SYSTEM DESIGN Figure 3 shows a two-appliance "FAN+NAT" system, combining a draft hood water heater (NAT appliance) with a fan-assisted combustion Category I (FAN) furnace. The system is designed in the following steps using Table III for double wall Metalbestos connectors. A. For the water heater, enter the vent connector table at a least total height of 15' and a connector'rise of 1'. Read across to the MAX BTU per hour rating for a NAT appliance vent higher than 35,000. The table shows that a 4" size connector is needed. This size must be used beginning at the draft hood, regardless of draft hood size (which might be 3').
