Flue Pipe and Electrical Wires?

Mark (PA) · Post by **Mark (PA)** » Fri. Oct. 03, 2008 7:44 am

Just curious. is there a Min distance to keep your flue pipe (from boiler to chimney thimble) from electrical wires?

obviously I know it can't be touching or that close etc due to heat. But just wondering about is there a code distance? 16" 2 feet? etc?

Thanks!

Most codes are at least 18" from any combustable items. If in doubt, just put some shielding (sheet metal or something) over them.
