What goes into a liner job in Monterey
Details that decide the liner we propose in Monterey, each one traceable in your estimate.
Liquid fuel and solid fuel never share a liner
One liner maker states that an appliance burning a liquid fuel must not be connected to a chimney liner used to vent a solid-fuel appliance. It is a firm rule written into the instructions, not a preference.
We ask what burns in each connected appliance before proposing a layout, and we keep each flue to the use its listing allows. If two appliances would conflict, we explain the options in writing, such as separate flues or a change of appliance, and leave the choice with you.
One liner per flue in a multi-flue chimney
Where two or more flues share a chimney, the residential code calls for masonry wythes at least 4 inches thick between adjacent flue linings, tied into the chimney walls. Each flue is its own passage and is relined on its own.
We inspect every flue in the chimney and list each relining separately, so you pay only for the flues that need it. A damaged wall between flues is also a finding in its own right, because it lets one flue leak into its neighbor, and we explain how it affects the relining plan.
Chimney height limits in liner instructions
Liner instructions set limits on the chimneys they cover. One stainless flexible system, for example, calls for a chimney at least 10 feet high and no more than 100 feet.
A short chimney, or an unusual one, may need another product or approach. We check the height against the product before recommending it. Single-story homes with low chimneys are where this comes up, and the estimate explains any product change it forces.
Temperature limits written into a listing
A liner's listing includes the flue gas temperatures it is meant for. One stainless flexible liner is intended for appliances whose maximum continuous flue gas outlet temperature does not normally exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit in the United States.
We read limits like that against your appliance before proposing the product. An appliance outside the limit needs a different system, and the estimate names it.
