How a relining day runs

The day starts with the room protected and the flue swept, since liner makers want the old passage clean before their product goes in. Broken tile and obstructions come out next, then the liner is assembled on the roof with its bottom fitting attached and any insulation wrapped on.

It is lowered from the top, connected below to whatever it serves, and fixed at the crown with a top plate and cap. The day ends with a small test fire, the old debris gone, and the installation record handed over at your St. Nicholas house. New stove or insert going into your St. Nicholas home? Call (904) 920-5495 and we will size the liner.

The county for St. Nicholas is Duval County. St. Nicholas is inland, more than about six miles from the coast.

How It Works

From proof run to capped liner in St. Nicholas

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

Sizing a liner for an open fireplace in St. Nicholas

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 St. Nicholas home and show the math on the estimate.

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.

Wrapping a liner in insulating blanket

Blanket insulation for a liner is a foil-faced ceramic fiber sheet. It is laid out flat, the liner and its bottom fitting set on top, and the blanket wrapped around with overlapping seams taped with foil tape along their length. A wire mesh sleeve then goes over the wrapped liner to hold the blanket in place as it is lowered.

The wrap starts at the bottom fitting and stops a few inches below the crown, where the instructions leave room for the liner to grow with heat. The blanket adds thickness, so the flue has to be proved with the wrap included.

The tee and clean-out at the bottom

Where a stove connects through the chimney wall, the liner ends in a tee. Its branch passes through the wall opening to meet the stove's connector, and its bottom carries a removable cap.

That cap is the clean-out. When the liner is swept from the top, the deposit falls to the tee, the cap comes off, and the debris is emptied without disconnecting the stove from the wall. The tee is supported so the liner's weight does not hang on the connection, and the opening in the masonry around the branch is sealed so room air does not leak into the flue.

FAQ

Relining questions from St. Nicholas

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.

What paperwork do I get after relining?

The liner maker's instructions and an installation record with the liner size, alloy, length and insulation. Keep them with the house papers for the next sweep, inspection or sale.
