or any combustible material other than wood.

B.  Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the 
gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run 
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required 
to be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. 
These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements 
of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be 
checked.
Chases should be constructed  in the manner of all outside 
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. 
The chase should not break the outside building envelope 
in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase 
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration  barriers 
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for 
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold 
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be 
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts in cold climates, the fi restops 
should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps. 
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with 
high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the 
appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of 
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting 
cold up into the room.
