How To Install a Chimney Liner

Good narration, he makes it sound very easy.

Chimney insulation is highly recommended but is not required. It's recommended because it enables the flue to heat up more quickly and at a higher temperature which in turn induces an efficient draft and reduces the chance of creosote buildup.

Is it not necessary to run the liner any further down than just past the T-snout? I have a stove on the main floor, but chimney runs all the way down to the basement. Thanks.

Generally in that type of situation there would be an offset around the fireplace. Feel free to give us a call if you need help.

What to do if hot water vent and boiler use the same chimney? Right now the hot water vent goes on top into the basement brick. I think the chimney is behind it. Then the boiler vent go lower. How to make sure 2 are connected and seal?

+lsman38 To determine the correct size liner for the two appliances you will need to know the combine BTU's of both appliances. The best way to connect a hot water heater and a boiler is a double snouted tee. www.rockfordchimneysupply.com/custom-double-snouted-tee-with-tee-cap.php.

+Rockford Chimney Supply Thanks for quick response. The two snouts will insert first just like its single one?

[@Rockfordchim]

They will be installed just like a single tee connection, but you do it twice.

The person inside the house does not necessarily have to see the top of the chimney. The flexible liner is designed to maneuver around offsets in the chimney. Of course if you are able to see straight down the flue, the installation should be a lot easier.

What type of appliance do you have at the reffered to other end?

I can't get a liner down the chimney to my furnace in the basement; an unused fireplace on the main floor is blocking the liner from reaching down to the furnace.

Yes there are stainless steel 3" tees for flexible liners. Feel free to call, or even comment here, if you need help figuring out what would work with your particular setup.
