What happens to the old clay tile

Sound tile can stay. The new liner runs down its center, and the tile becomes a sleeve around it, adding a layer between the flue and the brick. Tile that has broken apart, shifted into the passage, or left the passage too tight for the liner plus insulation is broken out and removed from the bottom.

At the top, a tile sticking up above the crown can stay if it is sound. A damaged top tile is trimmed level with the crown and the edge filled, so the top plate of your Nocatee liner sits flat and seals. Measuring is free in Nocatee; call (904) 920-5495 and have the appliance model handy.

Nocatee is near the coast without touching it. Nocatee sits in St. Johns County.

From proof run to capped liner in Nocatee

Sweep and prove the flue
The flue is swept clean, then a test piece or cone is lowered to make sure the liner will pass every bend.
Size and alloy chosen
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.

Storm rain and relined flues in Nocatee

Through hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, storms near the coast bring hard, sideways rain. A cap that does not sit square lets water into the liner.

We check the cap and the top plate seal when relining in Nocatee, and again at each sweep.

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.

Poured insulation around a liner

Instead of a blanket, some liner systems are insulated with a loose, lightweight mix poured into the space between the liner and the old flue walls. It fills irregular spaces that a blanket cannot, including gaps around offsets and oversized tile.

The mix needs the bottom of the space sealed first so it stays where it is poured, and it adds a break-in period to the first fires, set by the maker. It suits a flue with room to spare around the liner. Which method is planned, and why it fits your flue, is explained before the job. The mix goes in from the top in stages so it settles evenly.

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 Nocatee

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.

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.
