Pipe Over Electric Furnace
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:23 pm
Over my Coleman electric furnace, there was always an insulated 'pipe', It goes from the furnace to the ceiling. It seems to have no purpose.
I never noticed what it was attached to on the old funace, and never contemplated it's use.
When the new furnace was installed, the pipe just hung loosely from the ceiling. It was in the way of putting in the filter.
When I asked installer what it was for, he hesitated, before saying it was to get rid of humidity. I didn't question it at the time, now I realize, he didn't know what it was for.
It has a square metal base, which has no place to rest, so I set it on a little ledge.
I wonder if it is to be used with a gas furnace, and it has no purpose with an electric.
I would like to duct tape it out of the way of my filter, if it has no function.
I posted pics of it in my album, so not to use space in this forum.
Dont know how to post a direct link to my album.
Sorry this is so long.
