HECKLIST UMMARY
This checklist serves as a summary of the items to be checked
before venting an 80+ furnace into a masonry chimney. In addi-
tion, we recommend that a qualified serviceman use this check-
list to perform a yearly inspection of the furnace venting system.
This checklist is only a summary. For detailed information on each
of the procedures mentioned, see the paragraph referenced with
each item.
This inspection is based upon a draft topical report, "Masonry Chim-
ney Inspection and Relining", issued by the Gas Research Insti-
tute. While not yet finalized, we believe this report represents the
best information on this subject which is currently available.
