in THE MAIN WALL
Just looked at a house (1850 or so) that has a pipe burried in the wall that is super hard but not metallic. I chipped a bit off the edge and it is fiberous. Ever seen a totally asbestos vent pipe? New to me.

Just a guy running some pipes.

    Transite....

    We see some transite vent pipe here. (concrete - asbestos) One customer has a five story commercial building with it venting the boiler.



    They used asbestos in just about everything.

    Transite

    We used tons of it for venting gas furnaces and boilers in the 60's. We also used it for duct work in concrete slabs.

    Transite removal

    I have Transite vent pipe for my Hot Water Heater. I need to reroute the roof vent, and would like to replace it with 3" B pipe. I'm curious if I can remove the Transite without busting up my wall, or if it can be pulled up from the roff/attic, or pulled out from the basement.
