Hi Guys. Anyone ever use an old chimney as a chase? I have a customer who wants receptacles above their fireplace which used to be a wood burning fireplace. It is no longer used as such but instead has an insert with a 4" exhaust up the existing chimney. I actually called the inspector and told him that the chimney is no longer used for exhausting a wood burning fireplace, therefore the temp will never get hot enough to do any damage. He was ok with it being used as a chase as long as I secured and maintained a distance between my BX and the 4" exhaust.
Anyone done this before?
