TOPIC: Aren't Tomato Soup Cans for Telephones ?

Aren't Tomato Soup Cans for Telephones ? 14 years 4 months ago #33759

When I was a kid we would take two soup cans and tie a string between them and make some homemade telephones.  As a mater of fact those homemade phones actually worked better than my new Iphone.  Anyway soup cans should be used for soup and telephones, but not for flue pipe for water heaters.  Even us telephone making kids knew this was not approved piping.  I know there are codes and there are exceptions to codes and I am not a code expert but I am pretty sure soup cans as flue pipes aren't aloud on any codes or exceptions. I found this on a home inspection in Charlotte NC today.  The guy should have stuck with making phones.

That usually is the funny part; doing it the right way would be easier.
