Hard to find a copy or pdf of Csa b365. Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment Any know a link or have a copy. In specific looking to find out what indoor wood furnace ducting configurations are code compliant in Canada. My hotblast is installed and inspected to wett no issues with it being in parrallel as an add on. All ducting clearances are above code. I am replacing it with a drolet heatmax and the installation manual says series and parrallel not authorized in Canada stand alone only.

Why would this make any sense nobody could use their house ducts. Any input would be great. That code is mentioned in pretty much every wood furnace manual for Canadian installations now but that hasn't prevented a lot of installations that share the duct work between wood and gas from taking place against the code. Not sure the reasoning behind the code in the first place but whether you can get away with it or not seems to depend on the level of inspection you have to go through.

From my experience a lot of installers ignore the new code but you could run into an inspector who refuses to approve the shared duct work. Running separate ducting would kill the feasibility of installing any wood furnace IMO. Exception may be if you have an electric furnace already in place.
