Do you seal the pipe going into furnace intake and exhaust with a sleeve covering both pipe and exhaust & then screw tight with the band clamps ?? Or is that not to worry about??
Nice work wish my guy took pride like that didn't even glue anything! Then cut huge holes in the side of my house and used bright silver silicone on a tan sided house. I would like to install a flush vent kit to cover the sloppy work if they work good...
I just wanna know who is the furnace running while they were doing that or was there a heater or something running in the background you could blow up a heat exchanger that way
Did he just prime the joints with no solvent? Here they colour code everything. Primer is purple, solvent is gray for PVC. Maybe it’s different for another manufacturer.
We go by county's in michigan. Using clear primer and clear glue. Sometimes purple primer and clear glue is recommended. Guess it just depends on the codes in the area you are working.
@ Not enough "o"s. Learn to spell before criticizing another guy's work when you don't know the specs on the furnace or the local codes. Hint: They're not all the same. On most 160K BTU furnaces, the exhaust gas specs allow up to 150 feet of three inch pipe, minus 3 feet for every 90 degree elbow.
The plumber does nice, neat and fast work.
Thanks

Thank you Good video.
Nice job
minimum is close to 1/4 per foot. you can run a vent at more just don't make any traps. a 3X2 coupling on its side can prevent proper drainage.
That is precisely what occurred in an improperly installed furnace in a home I purchased. Incorrectly used for 15 years.

the exhaust usually comes with a rubber sleeve that goes on it and i usually glue the intake in.
check what the furnace book says with amount of fittings and size recommended. check with manufacturer all furnaces are different

Thanks for the comments. The flush mounts work good too.
It would've been nice to see the termination outside.
So, what if the intake isn't hooked up and pulls air from Inside the house?
a lot of people do it that way too. i prefer to bring in outside air for combustion. especially in an airtight home.
You can pitch it more than 1/4" per foot. Otherwise you couldn't vent straight up.
+james holder ....Exactly . 1/4" per foot is the minimum recommended pitch , not the maximum .
+chris markelle if I said maximum then my mistake. yes 1/4 is the minimum recomended

There is a diesel heater running in the background
Does the exhaust pipe need to be at a slope so water doesn’t collect in it
It should slope back to the furnace, the water in it will come out the condensate drain if everything is working correct
Thx sir

Should have used 45 with more pitch for drain on these systems, you'll be back for code #31 pressure switch.
are you talking about the 90's into the furnace?
To many 90s

Yes to many 90'!
what is the max run for a vent? I'm estimating i will need a 3in drop for a 20ft or so run.
20' would be 5" drop.
Hydronic?water will be flowing in those pipes? Lol

Hope people don't follow this guy for his pipe work.
Thanks for your productive comments
