Furnace exhaust question
I am looking to install a fireplace insert but my chimney is not able to support. So I would like to remove my chimney and run piping for the furnace and for the new insert. My question is how large does a glue pipe need to be to exhaust a furnace? I do not plan on running both units into the same flue so I want to know if I have enough room to run two pipes up in the same cavity. Or is there an option where I can run the furnace out the side of the house ? Thanks for the help

Welcome to the forums.
You'd need to know what each appliance requires for a vent line. If it's an 80% furnace it will probably require a B vent. Many fireplaces require concentric pipe to bring in fresh air while exhausting fumes.
