Exhaust Pipe Ticking

Don Regan

I'm working with a contractor here in Wisconsin that has two seperate installs. One of a Peerless 80K BTU and one with a Munchkin 140. On both systems, the exhaust pipe makes a load ticking sound on heat up & cool down. We can't seam to make this go away. We need fresh ideas.

Thanks, Don

expansion and contraction

check your hangers sounds like simple expansion and contraction

Did that..

we replaced them, moved them, hung the pipe with panty hose. (temporarily of course).

Any other thoughts on the subject???

Can the pipe alone be making that noise??? On two different installs by two different installing contractors?

check the holes through the side of the house, could be drilled too tightly

I will...

check this out and let you know. Great Idea. These are both ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) homes with 9" thick walls.

Did they fill holes with water plug cement? That could be putting too much pressure on pipe and not allowing expansion and contraction.

More than...

likely this is the case. I will post the result.

Thanks, Don
