Home built 2001. Heat pack.
Rigid black pipe gas supply exits cowl between heat pack and foundation wall and passes directly in front of the exhaust of the heat pack. Pitting and corrosion on gas line.
The gas supply comes from crawlspace, through the foundation wall and travels inside the cowl, pierces cowl and then runs along outside of heat pack before entering front of heat pack.
I guess since there is already a hole in the foundation covered by the cowl, it kinda makes sense to run the gas pipe there so one less hole. But I am not to happy about the gas line passing directly in front of the exhaust. Pre-heating the gas seems ...odd?
Wadda ya think?
