Relining before a first fire

An idle fireplace, whether new to you or closed off for years, may need relining before it carries any fire. The inspection shows the state of the flue and what the planned appliance or open fire will need from it.

If a stove or insert is planned, relining at the same time as the installation avoids opening the chimney twice. If an open fire is planned, the liner is sized to the opening. Either way the Panama Park job is built around what you intend to burn. Decide on the appliance first, since it sets the liner. Measuring is free in Panama Park; call (904) 920-5495 and have the appliance model handy.

Panama Park is a neighborhood inside Jacksonville city limits. Panama Park lies within Duval County.

From proof run to capped liner in Panama Park

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.

Sizing a liner for an open fireplace in Panama Park

An open fireplace has no collar to size from, so the liner is sized from the fireplace opening, with the code's minimum flue area tied to that opening.

We measure the opening in your Panama Park home and show the math on the estimate.

10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection

A sized, listed liner booked 72 hours or less after the free inspection comes 10% off.

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.

The cap on a relined flue

A relined flue gets its own cap, clamped to the top plate or the liner collar. It keeps rain out of the liner, where water mixes with deposit and attacks the metal, and its screen keeps birds and animals out of a passage that is now too narrow to clear by hand.

Where the chimney had a single wide cap over several flues, the new liner cap may sit higher than the old cap allows. We check the fit and say whether the old cap is refitted, raised or replaced with an arrangement that covers every flue. The screen gets checked again on every sweep after that.

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.

Relining questions from Panama Park

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.

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.
