Offsets and bends in the flue

Not every flue runs straight. Offsets carry them around beams, a second fireplace or a change in the roofline, and those bends decide which liner can be used. Rigid sections need a straight path, while flexible liner bends through offsets that rigid pipe cannot follow.

At a tight bend, a round liner may need to be pressed oval to pass, which changes its area, so the size is checked again after shaping. The offsets found when your Middleburg flue was proved are recorded. A long run may need two lengths joined with the maker's connector, and you are told where that joint falls.

The diameter comes from the appliance collar or the fireplace opening, and the alloy from the fuel.
Liner run down and joined
The liner goes down with its insulation where the listing asks, and joins the stove, insert or smoke chamber below.
Top plate, cap and record
The top plate is clamped and sealed, the cap fastened, and you get the installation record.

Cracked tile found during a sweep

A sweep in Middleburg sometimes turns up cracked or missing flue tile. Hot gas and sparks can reach the brick behind a crack.

Relining with a listed stainless liner is one way to restore the flue, and the estimate explains the choices.

Proving the flue before a liner is ordered

A liner cut to length is not easily returned, so nothing is ordered on a guess. The proof run answers one question: will a liner of the planned size, with any insulation, pass from the top of this flue to the bottom?

It fails at bulging mortar joints, at tiles knocked out of line, and at offsets tighter than they look from either end. When the proof fails, the options are to break out the obstruction, change to flexible liner, or step down to a smaller rigid section if the appliance sizing still allows it. We say which option applies and why.

When the flue is too big for the appliance

An oversized flue causes trouble too, though it shows up differently from an undersized one. Exhaust slows down in a passage much larger than the appliance's collar, loses heat to the extra surface, and condenses. The result is heavy creosote with wood and damp, acidic deposits with gas.

Liner makers set a floor and a ceiling for liner size: no smaller than the appliance collar, and in one maker's instructions no more than three times its area for solid fuel. A liner inside the oversized flue restores the right size without changing the masonry around it. The collar size and the liner size are shown side by side, so the fix is easy to check.

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.

Relining questions from Middleburg

Do you install chimney liners in Middleburg?

We do. Describe the fireplace or stove and the reason relining came up, and the Middleburg estimate visit is planned around it.

Does a wood stove need a stainless liner?

The code requires the flue lining to suit the appliance, and a stove set into an existing masonry chimney needs a flue sized to its collar. Our answer is a listed stainless liner from the stove collar to the top, sized from the stove's manual.
