It is permissible to use an existing chimney as a chase way to run
the Vent/Air-inlet piping as long as:
1. The chimney is not being used by any other appliance.
2. Flue gases do not enter the vacant chimney.
3. Only approved vent manufacturer’s venting shown in section
8.9 can be used.
Vent lengths are within the maximums specified.
4. The top of the chimney is capped and the Vent Air-inlet pipes
are flashed to prevent leakage into the vacant chimney.
Under no circumstances may an existing chimney or chase-way
be used to vent or provide combustion intake air to the boiler. The
existing chimney or chaseway can only be used as a passageway
to allow the approved venting material to pass through. Failure to
follow these instructions will result in fire, property damage, serious
injury or death.
