SINGLE appliance venting of a fan assisted furnace into
a tile lined masonry chimney (interior or outside wall) is

type B1 vent or an insulated single wall flexible vent
lining system which has been sized according to the
provided venting tables and the vent pipe manufacturer's
instructions.
DO NOT insulate the space between the liner and the
chimney wall with puffed mica or any other loose granular

existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
•
The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance.
•
The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables.
If type B1 double wall vent is used inside a chimney, no
other appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer
wall of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue
products. A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall
terminate above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed
roof assembly according to the terms of their respective
listings and the vent manufacturer's instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting. The chimney passageway must be
checked periodically to ensure that it is clear and free of
obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is
servicing a solid fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue
is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must
be permanently sealed.
A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes through
an unused masonry chimney flue is not considered to be
exposed to the outdoors.
