Yes the pipe cause that burn, after I took the furnace out I was able to see that the pipe was to close to the floor and the only way it could have caused the burn. scary to know that it might be other furnaces out there that might have the same problem593Views0likes0Comments- 593Views0likes0Comments

This pictures is a close up of what happened, the pipe from the furnace was just to close to the linoleum and of course with time the flooring got dry from all the heat to the point of ignition. The picture shows the pipe in question you can see that the pipe is just to close to the edge and the furnace should have been place with the spacers not directly on the linoleum or plywood. This picture you can see the unsafe installation of the sheet metal, the linoleum and ultimate the furnace. Who ever did this was just lazy didn't even put enough aluminum tape to cover the edge and instead of putting the sheet metal over the linoleum or at least cutting the linoleum it was just left as is. This picture is just a little further out of where the furnace goes in, again, according to the installation manual that comes wit the furnace it saids that the installation should be done from an exterior wall, if I'm wrong please illuminate my ignorance so I can learn more.591Views0likes0Comments- 347Views0likes0Comments

It'a all about how much money we can get without expending much.347Views0likes0Comments
