    Default How Many Ways Can You Disrespect a B Vent?

    In this case, three times, all within 10 feet of one another. This was in a townhome with a 3rd floor finished room and spray foam insulation applied to the underside of the roof framing and decking.

    Closed cell I believe. I don't get to see this application too much where I live.

    Cool Re: How Many Ways Can You Disrespect a B Vent?

    I can add a few Nick but good pick up:
    -B-vent exposed in living space instead of boxed in
    -no listed firestop/ spacer at second floor ceiling
    -no support for lower elbow
    -no support for vertical pipe from attic through roof
    -no insulation shield in attic

    Keep the fire in the fireplace.

    I don't think many installers around here know what a listed firestop/spacer is. 99% of the ones I see are sheet metal that have been cut on-site.
