Our approach to chimney liners in Tangerine
What we check on liner jobs in Tangerine, and the source behind each check.
Four kinds of lining the residential code accepts
Section R1003.11.1 lists four ways to line a flue for residential appliances. Clay flue lining made to ASTM C315, chimney lining systems listed to UL 1777, factory-built chimneys or chimney units listed to go inside masonry, and other approved materials that flue gases and condensate as hot as 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit cannot corrode, erode, soften or crack.
Relining an existing chimney usually comes down to one of the first three. Your estimate names which route we propose, why it suits the chimney and the appliance, and what the other routes would involve if you want to compare them.
Sizing a liner for an open fireplace
An open fireplace is sized by its opening. Option 1 of section R1003.15.1 calls for a round flue of at least one-twelfth of the fireplace opening area, a square flue of at least one-tenth, and a rectangular flue with a ratio of 2 to 1 or more of at least one-eighth.
We measure the opening, apply the rule that fits the proposed liner shape and write the numbers down for you. A liner that is too small for a large opening can leave smoke at the front of the fireplace, so the opening size decides the liner as much as the chimney does.
Keeping tile pieces out of the flue
When tile is trimmed at the top, pieces must not drop into the flue, and any that do are removed. Loose fragments on the smoke shelf or at the base of a flue can block the passage and the new liner's path.
We check the base of the flue after the top work, so nothing is left behind, and we clear the smoke shelf before the liner connection is made. A clean base is also where the next sweep starts, so leaving it clear is part of finishing the job properly.
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.
