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.

   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:

• 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:
