A Type B Gas Vent typically needs 1” to combustibles:
How it is to be done/corrected is not as important for an inspector to report on as the fact that it needs to be corrected….if not 2’ above any part of building within 10’.
Thanks Larry-
Agree- i will just write it up…
But i do like to educate myself- typically i see extended flues tied back higher up the roof. Just thinking how this may be secured.
Its a rental- and i personally don’t like the flue being within reach of someone on the porch.
Roof is shot- so if they do a re-roof- relocation would be best.
