It will draw in air for the combustion and then expel the fume outside.
Furnace exhaust pipe insulation.
The flue is the metal tubing that extends up from the top of your gas furnace or water heater that carries the carbon monoxide gas from the heating unit to your.
Traditional gas fired forced air furnaces produce hot combustion exhaust gasses and therefore need metal vent pipes or chimneys.
In contrast modern high efficiency condensing furnaces exhaust much cooler gasses and need only plastic pipe materials such as pvc cpvc or abs for their exhaust vents some high efficiency furnaces also include a plastic pipe for intake area and all types.

Without this indoor air will permeate the insulation and condense internally against the pipe.
Also known as the induced draft fan this one has a fan that is located on the end of the pipe.
Although fiberglass may not burn it can melt contribute to a fire and the speed at which it spreads.
Approx 5 off the ground couple inches from wall of home coming through a boarded up use to be window 90.
This is another affordable option for the heating solution.
Because the pipe gets hot building codes usually require 1 inch of clearance from metal flues 2 inches from masonry chimneys to any combustible material including insulation.

Insulating around a furnace exhaust pipe.
It had about a 5 rise from the furnace to the charred area in the attic.
The plastic gas furnace intake pipe can be insulated but any insulation strategy must include a vapour barrier on the outside.
Furnace flues require special sealing techniques.
Ruud r95p 100k btu 95 efficiency furnace power vent exhaust and intake pipes routed to the outside side single digits f in average cold winter for approx 2 days to 2 weeks.

Fiberglass insulation cannot just butt up to the vent pipe touching it.
The gas furnace was in a garage and the flue pipe went up through the above attic.
Since the exhaust pipe is running on a sidewall the fan works together with the furnace.
In this case the b vent was also dented on the side so i know the airspace around the double wall pipe was compromised.
