Relining an outside-wall chimney
A chimney on an outside wall is exposed on three faces, and the gases inside cool quickly. That makes condensation and creosote more likely, and it is where liner makers point to insulation as worth its space even when the listing does not demand it.
An insulated liner keeps the flue warmer from bottom to top, helps the draft start faster, and cuts the moisture that settles on the walls. On each Fruit Cove house, we say whether insulation is required by the listing or recommended for the exposure, two different reasons that are worth keeping apart. Where space inside the old tile is tight, insulation is weighed against the liner size the appliance needs. Call (904) 920-5495 and a liner specialist will measure your Fruit Cove flue for free.

How It Works
How chimney relining runs
-
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
Aluminum or stainless liners in Fruit Cove
Aluminum liners are listed for a narrow group of gas appliances, those with a draft hood or listed for Type B vent. Wood, oil and most other appliances need stainless.
We read the appliance label in Fruit Cove before choosing the liner metal.

Where an aluminum liner fits, and where it does not
Aluminum liners have a narrow listing. The makers write them for Category I gas appliances, those fitted with a draft hood or listed for Type B gas vent, and the instructions rule out solid fuel, liquid fuel and gas appliances in Categories II through IV.
So aluminum is out for any flue that serves, or might later serve, a fireplace or stove burning wood. It can be the right choice for a gas appliance that matches its listing. Where the chimney's future use is uncertain, stainless keeps more options open, and we explain the trade.
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.
Where the wall opening for a stove goes
When a stove connects through the side of the chimney, the opening in the masonry has to hold the connector firmly and keep the required clearance to any wood around it. Liner makers also ask that the opening not be placed directly behind the appliance, so the connection can be reached for inspection and cleaning.
If an old opening sits at the wrong height for the new stove, too close to framing, or behind where the stove will stand, a new opening is made and the old one closed with masonry. That work is priced separately from the liner.

FAQ
Before a liner is ordered
Can relining be done in one day?
A plain liner in a straight, clean flue can go in within a day. Tile removal, insulation, crown repair or a new wall opening add time, and the estimate gives the schedule.
Can you reline a chimney that has bends in it?
Yes, with flexible liner, which follows offsets that rigid sections cannot. The flue is proved first to make sure the liner and any insulation will pass the bends.
