Relining
your chimney with either flexible chimney liner or rigid chimney lining
can usually be done by a competent do-it-yourselfer with some common
sense.
We provide all the instructions via download so you can look at the
installation
process before you buy. We also supply you with a FAQs page for you
to
go over, you may find an answer to any question you may there.
A note about some
of the cheap chimney liner out there on the Internet;
Please don't look at price alone, look at all the aspects of the
liner, installation, and what type of product and tech support you
will receive. Look at all the specifications for their product,
like Crush Test Rates for instance, and compare with other liners. Just look at the images of their liner and components and compare them to ours, you will see a huge difference in quality of stainless steel just in the pictures!
Your family's safety is the most important thing and saving a couple
of bucks on a cheap chimney liner is not worth the risk. Don't forget, a chimney liner vents poison gases from your home. If it fails, it can change your life forever, and that is putting it mildly. If you want to buy cheap, buy something cheap that will not harm your family if it fails. Do not buy a chimney liner because it is cheaper than another, buy because of quality and durability. We have been installing HomeSaver and Heat-Fab liners for over 20 years without one failure in all that time.
If you
know exactly what you want, then click through the categories to the
left
starting at "Chimney Supplies" and select the type of liner you want to
use.
If you
are unsure of what you would like to use or even how to pick what liner
you may need, read on.........
First,
read through the Relining
FAQ page to get an answer to the most
Frequently
Asked Questions. Next, come back here and read on.
We have
two types of stainless chimney liner: Rigid and Flexible. There are
many
variables to choosing what type, size, and stainless alloy liner. Let's
start with size:
Size
is one of the most important aspects. One needs to be able
to fit the liner down the existing chimney as well as match the exhaust
size of the appliance you are venting. Measure the exhaust on your
appliance,
this is the size you will need to reline with. Only in the case of a
very
tall chimney, around 30 feet, would you be able to consider downsizing.
Now, measure the existing chimney opening in your chimney. Do not
guess,
guessing the inside diameter of your chimney never works. Measure,
Measure,
and measure again. You will need, at a minimum, 1 inch larger chimney
inside
dimension than the size reline pipe you want to use. The chimney needs
to maintain that clearance all the way down to where you will come out
to the stove with the liner (i.e.; 6" liner - 7" ID chimney, minimum).
The larger the chimney ID the better, more clearance means you will be
able to add the strongly
suggested insulation
Alloy
is the strength of stainless steel to resist corrosion. The
following fuels should be matched with following alloys:
Wood, Pellet: 304, 316, 321 or 316Ti alloy
Coal, Oil, gas (cat, 1): 316 or 316Ti Alloy
Gas (category 2 or 3): AL29-4C Alloy
Type
of chimney liner depends on what your application is. We have rigid or
flexible:
Rigid
Chimney Liner is the best because of the
smooth walls and
thick welded seam walls. But because it has to be assembled as it is
installed,
it creates problems in some applications. Tall chimneys and chimneys
with
bends and offsets are best relined with flexible. We carry one brand of
Rigid Chimney Liner for relining a chimney for wood, pellet, coal, and
oil appliances:
- Heat-Fab
Saf-T Liner
Is
the
best rigid liner available
for relining your chimney (If you want to reline your chimney
for gas applications, we suggest our Heat-Fab
Saf-T Vent for Gas). We carry 304 and 316 alloy
in the Saf-T Liner along with Saf-T Wrap insulation that matches the
liner. We have used this liner in many relines and it always performs
great! Comes in 5 - 12" diameter in 304 alloy and 5-8" diameter in 316
alloy.
Flexible
Chimney Liner is the most popular because
of the ease of
installation. The small "riggies" of the flex liner do collect a little
more creosote than the smooth walled rigid, but not that much more to
be
concerned about. The following flexible liners are available here at
Hart's
Hearth:

for Flexible Liner Typical Installation Diagrams.
- HomeSaver
RoundFlex:
Available in 304 Alloy or 316 Alloy, it is our most heavy duty
round flexible
chimney liner. Weighing in at a hefty 4.2 lbs a foot for 8" diameter,
it
is not for a one man install. 1/4" larger OD.
- HomeSaver
Pro:
Round 316Ti Alloy, great for all fuels, is lightweight because of the
titanium
(less than a pound a foot for 6"), and easy for one man to install.
This
liner is our Top
Choice over all. It even comes in complete kits from 5.5" to 8"
diameters! 3/8" larger OD
- HomeSaver UltraPro:
Round 316Ti Alloy. Just about the same
as the Pro, but with lighter weight components. At the lowest
price, this is the bargain hunter's liner.
Complete kits are available from 3" to
8" diameter. 3/8" larger OD
- Ventinox
HiFlex:
Round 321 Alloy. Some customers like Ventinox products. We carry this
HiFlex Chimney Lining for them. 1/2" larger OD
- Ventinox Round 316 Ti-Alloy .
Again, This 316 Ti Chimney Lining is for those customers who prefer
Ventinox liners. 1/2" larger OD
- HomeSaver OvalFlex: Available in
304 or 316 Alloy Stainless. Oval pipe is great to use when your
existing chimney interior is a rectangle shape and will not allow a
round liner down to match up with the exhaust on your stove. Best
suited for an appliance exhaust of 6 or 8".
- Ventinox Oval 321 Alloy: Has a few
special sizes not found with Homesaver OvalFlex. If you can't
find it in the OvalFlex, look here, you may find it.
- RectangleFlex:
A new inovation from HomeSaver; Rectangle,
flexible, stainless steel liner! If you want to reline a fireplace
chimney to still use the fireplace as a fireplace (not install a
woodstove like many do), then this rectangle, flexible liner is what
you need. Many different sizes to choose from , comes in 304 and 316
alloy.
- Flex Liners for Gas Appliances:
We carry a full line of flexible liners just for gas appliances.
Aluminum liners are included, but really not recommended. We suggest
you always reline with stainless and never have to mess with it again.
There
you have our complete line of chimney liners. If you cannot find what
you need in our offerings, we doubt it even exists, but you may call us
and ask.
We carry the
largest line of high quality chimney liners anywhere on the Web and our
Product and Tech Support is second to none! Why go anywhere else for
your chimney needs?
