  • 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.
