Adapters

The first one is a boot adapter, it gives you and angled positive connection when the liner is coming down at and angle and doesn’t make a flush fit into the stove.

The second is a offset box adapter when you cannot pull the liner far enough forward to insert into the stove.  Knowing that these products exists could save your day.

Our Flexible Chimney Liners

Categories:

Chimney Liner Our Flex King Liner is best for gas or oil.

The Flex King Pro has a smooth inner wall making it a great liner for wood or coal.  It increases draft and reduces creosote buildup with the use of wood burning appliances.  The Flex King Pro can used for all fuels.  It is a great option to use with gas and oil appliances because it can handle 25% more BTU’s than the standard Flex King Liner.

The Flex King HD is best to use if you have a wood stove or furnace that you plan on burning all winter.  If you rely on the wood stove to heat your home, this is the liner you need!  It is the strongest, most durable flexible liner we make.  As you can see it is also smooth reducing creosote build up.

All of our Chimney Liners are UL listed to UL1777.

Why insulate your stainless steel chimney liner?

Categories:

Basically you need insulation for safety and performance.  The safety issue is a no brainer.  Keep the extremely high temperatures that can reach 2100 degrees away from your home and prevent a house fire.

The second reason, performance, is a more difficult one to understand for some.  Here is a picture of a cap from a customer who did not use insulation around the stainless steel chimney liner.  The smoke cools down too much and creates creosote.  The screen was almost completely blocked on this rain cap.

Why buy a Chimney Liner now?

Categories:

Why should you buy a chimney liner now?  Some people think they will now wait until spring to install a chimney liner.  There are multiple reasons to install a chimney liner now and not wait.

First, it can be very dangerous to wait.  The chimney may appear to be in good condition on the outside but the inside could be a different story.  Chimneys deteriorate from the inside out.  So even though the outside looks good the inside, the flues, could be cracked and allowing poisonous gasses into your home.

Second, prices are going up.  As you can see, we are the cheapest online because we are the manufacture of the chimney liner.  But our prices will increase soon.  So buy now to save money and keep your family safe.

The best way to protect your masonry chimney is to install a stainless steel chimney liner.

A stainless steel chimney liner is guaranteed to last forever. Save yourself lots of money and labor by installing a stainless steel liner at the time of the gas boiler installation.

Chimney Liner Types

Categories:

A rigid chimney liner is hands down the best chimney liner available. It’s glass smooth interior promotes excellent chimney draft and makes it harder for creosote to stick to than traditional liners. The only problem with rigid chimney liners is that it is not always a chimney lining system that will fit in a chimney.

If your chimney flue is not straight a flexible chimney liner is what you will need to install. Chimney Liner Depot carries several lines of flexible chimney liner. Give us a call today to discuss your chimney relining requirements and we will help you figure out the best solution.

Chimney Liner Top Plate options

Categories: Tags:

Chimney Liner Top Plate Options

When you buy a chimney liner kit, it includes a top plate.  These top plates can vary in style and size.  It is very important to purchase the size you need.  Sometimes you can “make it work” and others times you cannot.  So it is best to do your research before purchasing.

Flat Top Plate

Flat top plates are just that, flat.  It is designed to sit flat on top of the chimney.  These are to be used when you have no terra-cotta flue extending above the crown or when you plan on removing the existing flue.  This style of top plates is not designed to sit on top of the flue.  The standard size is 13″ x 13″.  These are the outside measurements of the top plates.    Our flat top plates are also available in 13″ x 18″ and 18″ x 18″.  But any size is available upon request.

Terra-Cotta Top Plate

When you have a terra-cotta flue that extends out of the chimney, a terra-cotta top plate is suggested.  The top plate will wrap around the sides of the terra-cotta and secure to the outsides of the flue using 4 bolts that are adjusted tight to the flue.  Using this top plate is recommended when the terra-cotta is extending above the chimney because many times if you try to break the flue, it may crack the crown. terra-cotta top plate, chimney liner top plate  Terra-cotta top plates are available for all common flue sizes.

Deluxe Top Plates

Deluxe top plates come in either flat or terra-cotta style.  The only difference is that is has a square chimney cap built in.  The cap is hinged on one side that makes it a breeze for cleaning.  The deluxe top plates are the best looking top plates on the market.

Rigid Chimney Liner Vs Flex Chimney Liner

Categories: Tags:

Rigid Vs. Flex

As you have researched for your purchase of a chimney liner, you have encountered a rigid chimney liner and a flex chimney liner.  What chimney liner do you need?  Obviously you do not want to spend extra money if it does not bring much of a benefit.  We will answer 4 questions.  When would you use a Rigid chimney liner?  What benefits does it have?  When would you use a Flex liner?  What benefits does it have?

rigid chimney liner

When would you use a Rigid Chimney Liner?

You would use a rigid chimney liner when you want the BEST.  You would also want use rigid when you are using it for a solid burning appliance (wood, coal, pellet) that is your main source of heat.  One requirement is that your chimney be straight, free from bends.

What benefits does a Rigid Chimney Liner have?

A rigid chimney liner is strong.  You have the peace of mind that you have the best chimney liner on the market inside your chimney protecting you and your family from harmful fumes and a chimney fire that can be contained inside the liner.  Also, when you have a wood stove you want the best draft possible with as little creosote build up.

The rigid is a perfectly smooth inner wall.  Click HERE to learn how a smooth inner wall benefits you.  Rigid chimney liners can take a very aggressive cleaning, which means when you are done cleaning there should be absolutely nothing left in terms of creosote.

When would you use a Flex Chimney Liner?

You would use a flex chimney liner when your chimney has bends in it.  The flex is your only option in this case.  But there are a few styles of flex liners available.  This page will describe the difference between two of them.  If you have a gas furnace, this will not create creosote, so a flex liner may be sufficient in your case.

What benefits does a Flex Chimney Liner have?

A Flex chimney liner is light weight and easier to install than rigid.  The price is cheaper up front.  It will bend around fireplaces and easily connect to a fireplace insert.

How To install Flex Chimney Liner

Rigid chimney liner is the best.  But if for some reason it will not work in your case, seriously consider what style of flex liner you will need.  All our chimney liners and components are made from stainless steel.  If you can, use rigid chimney liner, it is the way to go.

Flex King Vs. Flex King Pro

Categories: Tags:

Flex King Vs. Flex King Pro

Many people see our Flex King and Flex King Pro chimney liners and wonder what chimney liner is best for their application.  There is no one answer that fits all.  Lets talk about when you would use a Flex King or a Flex King Pro first for a wood stove, then an oil furnace and finally a gas furnace.  You can clearly see the differences between the Flex King (on the left) and the smooth inner wall Flex King Pro (on the right).

flex king, chimey liner interiorflex king pro, chimney liner interior, smooth wall chimney liner

Flex King Pro for Wood stoves

Generally we will say Flex King Pro is the best liner for wood stoves.  This is because it has a smooth inner wall.  That smooth wall creates for better draft and less creosote build up.  So if you plan on using your wood stove for more than just the occasional fire, the Flex King Liner is what you want.  If you are not going to burn your stove regularly, possibly just here and there on weekends, the Flex King will work just fine for you.  One thing you need to use, no matter what liner you install for your wood stove, is insulation.  Click here to learn why it is required.

So the verdict is if you burn more than here and there, install the Flex King Pro for your wood stove.

Flex King or Flex King Pro for Oil

Oil furnaces can go either way.  Sometimes it is recommended to use a Flex King Pro and other times a Flex King.  This is mainly determined on how well the furnace burns.  Sometimes an oil burner can be sensitive to draft, especially when the chimney is shorter than normal.  Sometimes the oil burner does not burn very clean and creates a thick soot in the chimney.  This can lead to a blocked chimney.  We highly suggest hiring a furnace specialist to clean and adjust the furnace immediately.  So if you have no issues with draft, your chimney is plenty tall enough and the furnace burns clean you can use the Flex King chimney liner.

Flex King for Gas Furnaces

The modern gas furnaces burn fairly clean.  When there is perfect combustion water is one of the by-products.  This is not just any water, it has acids within it.  This is no good for masonry chimneys.  The masonry will soak in the water and the acids will quickly eat away at the terra cotta flues and the bricks or blocks.  To prevent this damage you need to install a Flex King chimney Liner.  Some high efficient furnaces have cooler exhaust temperatures so the water condenses quickly inside the chimney.  In rare cases the water condenses at such high rates inside a cold chimney, water can be seen leaking out of the bottom of the chimney.  If you have this problem, you will need to insulate the chimney liner to keep that water inside the chimney as a steam.  This will prevent it from condensing and causing more problems.

If you have further questions, please contact us. We will help you decide what Flex King Liner will be best for you.

How do you clean a Fireplace?

Why do you clean a Fireplace?

Many people love coming home to see a cozy fire in the fireplace.  This is always a favorite for special family occasion.  Some people only burn wood in the fireplace occasionally while others have a warm fire every evening during the winter months.  A fireplace can also be extremely dangerous.  According to www.usfa.fema.gov, “Heating fires account for 36% of residential home fires in rural areas every year. Often these fires are due to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes.”   The main reason for these fires is carelessness and a lack of cleaning.  We will discuss how to clean a fireplace.

How do you clean a Fireplace?

Cleaning and inspecting a fireplace annually can prevent multiple issues.  Many homeowners clean their own fireplace chimneys.  This is fine as long as you know how to thoroughly and properly clean a fireplace chimney.  As seen in the diagram below, there are multiple components to a fireplace and its chimney.  fireplace chimney

Once you seal up the opening of the fireplace to prevent dust from escaping, you can proceed to the roof.  The first thing you need to know is the size of your chimney flue.  The most common sizes for fireplace flues are 8″x13″ and 13″x13″.  You will need a wire brush that fits snugly inside the flue.  Now you can start by inserting the chimney brush from the top and working your way down.  Sometimes if the flue has extra creosote build up, you may need to pass the brush through the flue multiple times.

The most important thing to know when you clean a fireplace.

Look at the above diagram closely.  When you clean a fireplace flue, all the highly flammable creosote is not swept down the fireplace floor.  It is resting on top of the smoke shelf.  This is the most important spot to clean when you clean a fireplace chimney.  Now you have a pile of flammable creosote just a few inches above the flame.  You will need to reach up into the fireplace with a vacuum hose or other appropriate tool to remove all the creosote.  Once you remove all of the creosote that is on the smoke shelf, you now need to sweep out the rest of the firebox and discard of all the ashes.  These are the most basic steps in how to clean a fireplace and the chimney.








    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If there is a terra cotta clay flue liner, does it protrude out of
    the top of the chimney at least 2 inches? If there are at least 2
    inches and the terra cotta clay is in good condition, you will use
    our stainless steel, terra cotta top plate that has a 1 1⁄2inch edge
    that goes all the way around (like a shoebox lid).

    *If your terra cotta clay flue is in bad shape at the top, you may
    need to just take a hammer and tap all around that terra cotta,
    taking it away to make the surface flat at the top of your chimney.
    In that case, you will simply use the flat top plate that comes with
    our liner kit.



    *Note: If you have a terra cotta clay chimney
    flue lining, be sure to measure the true length and width of the
    inside of your chimney flue space.

    *If it is on the back of the stove, is it parallel with the back of the stove or is it at an angle, like 45 degrees?

    *If it is at an angle you will use an insert stove adaptor (an insert liner kit) rather than a two-part tee with cleanout cap.


    Usually pellet stoves have an exhaust hole id of 3 inches. However, if you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney you need to use a pipe and/or flex liner that is 4 inches diameter.





    If you are only venting a hot water heater then the exhaust hole diameter is probably 3 inch diameter. If it is 3 inch diameter and you are going up more than 15 feet to the top of your chimney, you must use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe for proper draft. We also suggest to go ahead and use a 4 inch diameter flexible liner or ridged pipe even if the total length is 15 feet or less.


    Not the depth or any other dimension inside your fireplace.

    Most gas log fireplaces require an 8 inch liner kit or rigid kit. But do not assume that is the case for the gas log fireplace kit you are installing. Obey the requirements for that specific unit that are in your installation/instruction manual.
