Relining a flue for a gas appliance
Venting a gas appliance through a masonry chimney calls for a flue lined and sized for gas. Sizing is taken from NFPA 54's venting tables and the manual for the appliance instead of the fireplace rules, because gas exhaust behaves differently from wood smoke.
Gas exhaust carries a lot of water vapor, and an oversized, cool flue lets it condense on the walls, which is why size matters as much here as with wood. The liner's alloy, or an aluminum liner where the listing allows it, is chosen from the appliance's category, and both are named for the Baldwin job. What burns below the flue decides the liner, so have that ready when you ring (904) 920-5495.
Baldwin sits about 23 miles from Jacksonville, measured directly. Baldwin sits in Duval County.

How It Works
Sweep, prove, size, reline
-
Flue swept and proved
The old flue is cleaned and checked, and a test length or cone is lowered to confirm the liner will pass.
-
Liner sized to the appliance
The diameter comes from the stove collar, the insert or the fireplace opening, with insulation where the listing calls for it.
-
Liner lowered and connected
The liner goes down full height and joins a tee with a clean-out, or an adapter on the insert.
-
Top plate, clamp and cap
The top plate is fastened to the crown, the liner is clamped and trimmed, and a screened cap goes on.
Local Conditions
Short chimneys and liners in Baldwin
Liner systems are listed for a range of chimney heights, and a very short chimney may not draw well even when lined.
We measure the height of your Baldwin chimney and check it against the liner's listing before ordering.

When the chimney's clearances cannot be confirmed
A liner's zero-clearance rating depends on its listing and, for some systems, on insulation. Liner makers say that if the chimney's own airspace to combustibles cannot be confirmed, the liner must be installed with an approved insulation wrap.
Clearances can be hard to confirm: the chimney sits behind drywall, the attic side is packed with insulation, or framing was built tight to the brick. In those cases the insulated system is what the listing requires. We say whether insulation is required for that reason or recommended for draft and condensation. The insulation also takes up room, which the flue proof has to allow for.
What the top plate does
The top plate is the part that holds the liner up. It sits on the crown around the flue opening, clamps the liner, and carries the whole weight of the liner below it, anchored to the masonry by sealant rated for heat or by masonry screws, per the kit.
Once the plate is fastened, the liner is cut flush with its collar and the cap goes on. A plate set on an uneven or cracked crown will not seal or sit square, which is why a broken top tile gets trimmed and the crown surface made good before it goes on.
Chimney height and the liner listing
Liner systems are listed for a range of chimney heights, and one maker's instructions call for a chimney at least 10 feet high. Below that, the draft a liner can produce may not be enough for the appliance.
The code sets its own height rule at the roof: at least 3 feet above where the chimney passes through, and 2 feet above anything on the building inside a 10-foot radius (FBC R1003.9). Where the chimney meets neither rule, a liner alone does not fix it. A short chimney is pointed out before any liner is priced.

FAQ
Relining questions from Baldwin
Will the new liner show from outside?
Only the top plate and the liner cap show above the crown. They sit low, and the cap's screen and lid are the parts you will notice from the ground.
What paperwork do I get after relining?
The liner maker's instructions and an installation record with the liner size, alloy, length and insulation. Keep them with the house papers for the next sweep, inspection or sale.
