INSTALLATION TIP
When installing this product into an existing
masonry chimney, it is important to carefully
measure the length of flex needed to reach from the
appliance outlet to the termination cap. If the flex
length is too short, a flex coupler will be needed to
attach an additional length of flex liner to make up
the difference. If the flex length is too long, the liner
could sag below the appliance outlet, which could
result in an airflow restriction causing flow reversal
or flame lift.
WHY RE-LINE YOUR CHIMNEY?
Most masonry chimneys are oversized and absorb
too much heat to be considered a proper vent. New
appliances installed today yield higher efficiencies
due to advancements in technology. This helps you
save by increasing the amount of usable heat for
your home generated by each BTU of fuel you burn.
Higher efficiencies effectively help you "send less
money up-the chimney". However, because more
heat is used by the home, there is less heat in the
exhaust gases vented to the outside. If not vented
properly, these lower temperature exhaust gases can
lead to excessive moisture in your chimney (or to
the appliance not venting at all!).
WHY MOISTURE IS BAD FOR THE
INSIDE OF A CHIMNEY
Moisture, over time, will cause corrosion and decay
of bricks, mortar and clay liners. How? Moisture
reacts with the exhaust gases to form acids which
"eat away" at your chimney. Also, moisture collects
into cracks and can seep into bricks and mortar. In
cold climates, the moisture freezes, expands, then
thaws, causing chunks of your chimney to break
loose and crumble. Finally, moisture can actually
drip back into your Appliance, causing it to rust or
corrode.
PROTECT YOUR CHIMNEY
Flexible Chimney Liners have two primary ways of
protecting your chimney:
a/ the Flex Liner contains the vent gases which can
react with moisture to damage the inside of your
chimney.
b/ Flex Liners reduce the size of the chimney
opening, so they require less heat to effectively
exhaust the fumes and prevent moisture build up.
Before installation, refer to the installation instructions packaged with kits.
