  • CAN/CSA-B149.1:20

    Go talk to my governing body that encompasses all components of HVAC into …HVAC…and ask them why exhaust from the gas is their responsibility.

    Gas does not just mean gas supply. It also incorporates combustion, and exhaust, strapping, spacing of straps, how level the machine must be, types of materials used, how alterations to equipment must be handled and about 40 other things at a minimum.

    As for the edit, I’m not digging through old documents to give you proof that insurance doesn’t pay without costly fights when you modify things without approval from manufacture or governing bodies.


  • Insurance doesn’t play by normal rules. Their job is to deny. That’s it. don’t give them justification to deny. If you attach any device to the appliance not approved by manufacture, you modified the device.

    codes end at the shut off connection to the appliance.

    No it doesn’t. Why does code deal with chimney, exhaust etc… That’s clearly after the shut off.

    I agree they will still need to prove that it caused failure. I never said OP shouldn’t do this, just to be cautious about the realistic aspect that insurance can use this as firepower to deny and local codes could also prevent modifications. People don’t always think about it so it’s good information to be aware of.


  • Careful you don’t break gas code since you’re modifying the appliance. Insurance could deem non manufacture approved changes to the appliance and deny any and all claims and whatever governing body that oversees your gas codes could also deem that the appliance is not fit to be used if you ever have a gas tech inspect things.

    That said, there is gas floweters that will tell you the gas flow and you can see if the range is on or not. Can’t remember the company that made them as it’s been a few years since I was in the trade and fielding these types of questions from home engineers etc…

    I have issues where companies won’t let me register because ‘you can’t have your last name as the @lastname’. They don’t trust it or whatever…I dunno

    They have no issues trying to mail me their spam fliers but won’t let me use it to communicate with them. Kinda fucky…but yes it is more of a that’s cool moment.
