Protecting PEX from heat
In my house I have a run of PEX tubing that runs right past, almost touching
in fact, the gas vent for the hot water heater. My concern is that the PEX is in danger or melting or accelerated decay due to the heat. Is there some way I can shield the PEX from the gas pipe, would there be a code or fire reason why this particular section needs to be rerouted away from the exhaust pipe? Just to clarify the exhaust from the water heater would have traveled about 5 feet before reaching the point where it is near the PEX so I presume it would have cooled down some. |
