This is a photo of a boiler stainless steel flue exhaust stack which is used for venting corrosive boiler flue gases. As the flue gases leave the boiler they cool and depending on the dew point of the gas the gas will experience a change of state from a gas to liquid. This liquid is highly corrosive and only special flues like stainless steel flue vet can be used when this occurs to prevent premature failure of the boiler flue vent. There are many considerations to consider with a new installation of a furnace or boiler and the type of flue to be utilized to vent the flue gases from the boiler or furnace.
This change of state of flue gases in the boiler flue pipe depends on many different variables like length of run, efficiency of the boiler or furnace, type of material used in flue, temperature of the flue, and ambient temperature outside and where the flue pipe is running. Always consult with the manufacturer or HVAC supplier for additional information on the type of flue needed and whether a liner is needed for a masonry chimney when a masonry chimney will be utilized to exhaust flue gases from a boiler or furnace.
