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 Switzerland liner sits flat and seals. Measuring is free in Switzerland; call (904) 920-5495 and have the appliance model handy.

Switzerland sits inland, more than about six miles from the coast. About 14 miles, as the crow flies, separate Switzerland from Jacksonville.

How It Works

Sweep, prove, size, reline

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

Aluminum or stainless liners in Switzerland

Aluminum liners are listed for a narrow group of gas appliances, those with a draft hood or listed for Type B vent. Wood, oil and most other appliances need stainless.

We read the appliance label in Switzerland before choosing the liner metal.

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.

Sizing a liner for a gas appliance

Gas appliances are sized differently from wood. The flue for a gas appliance vented into masonry is sized from the venting tables in NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas Code, and from the appliance's installation manual, and the Florida Building Code sends gas flue lining to its fuel gas chapter.

The tables account for the appliance's input, the height of the chimney and the length of any lateral run. Too large a liner lets the exhaust cool and condense; too small restricts it. When two gas appliances share a flue, the combined sizing rules apply, and we note which table was used. The appliance's rating plate gives the input figure the tables need.

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 Switzerland

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.
