A new wood stove in an old fireplace
A fireplace flue is sized for an open fire, which is a far larger opening than a stove's collar. Set a stove into that fireplace and its exhaust crawls up a passage much too big for it, cools on the way, and leaves creosote and condensation on the walls.
Fitting a liner matched to the stove's outlet fixes the mismatch and gives the stove a sealed, cleanable flue from its collar to the cap. Have the stove's manual ready when we visit in Nassau Village-Ratliff, since it can set its own minimum flue height and connector rules on top of the liner's listing. What burns below the flue decides the liner, so have that ready when you ring (904) 920-5495.

How It Works
From proof run to capped liner in Nassau Village-Ratliff
-
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
Gas appliances and flue size in Nassau Village-Ratliff
Gas exhaust carries water vapor, and in an oversized masonry flue it can cool and condense, washing out mortar joints.
When a gas appliance vents into a chimney in Nassau Village-Ratliff, the liner is sized from the venting tables in NFPA 54 and the appliance manual.

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.
Matching the alloy to the fuel
Stainless liners are not all the same steel. Makers list 316-type alloys for wood, coal, oil and standard-efficiency gas appliances, and offer tougher, more acid-resistant alloys for high-efficiency gas appliances, which run cool enough to leave acidic condensate in the flue.
The fuel and the appliance's category decide which alloy its listing allows. A liner fitted for a wood stove and later asked to carry a high-efficiency gas appliance may not be listed for that job, which is why a fuel change is a reason to check the liner before relying on it. The alloy and its listed fuels are named before the liner is ordered.
One liner, one kind of fuel
Oil and wood do not share a liner. Makers bar connecting an appliance that burns liquid fuel, such as oil, to a liner that vents a solid-fuel appliance like a wood stove. For sizing, the same instructions send an oil appliance to NFPA 31, the oil-burning standard, rather than to the rules for wood.
Gas appliances have their own common-venting rules under NFPA 54, and the appliance manuals say whether sharing is allowed. Where a chimney serves two different appliances, we plan two flues or two liners, each sized to its appliance. The record says which appliance each liner serves, so nobody connects the wrong one later.

FAQ
Relining questions from Nassau Village-Ratliff
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.
Does a relined flue still need its own cap?
The relined flue does not need one. The liner kit we fit includes its own cap, which fastens at the top plate. If the chimney has other flues, their caps are checked, and any change is noted.
