Robert talks about the different types of Chimney Liners.
Chimney re-lining is generally needed when a masonry chimney has been damaged, unsafe or is not repairable; another reason would be if you are installing a new appliance and the appliance being connected to the chimney requires a liner.
The advantages to a chimney liner is improved draft by sizing the liner to the appliance, hotter core temperatures, improved safety, easier cleaning, and longevity. Chimney liners vary widely in size, type (wood or gas), and quality.
We carry several styles of liners and liner kits. The single wall corrugated liner is a little more economical and offers the same benefits as a double-wall liner, but the corrugated inside can make chimney cleaning a bit more involved. The double-wall liners have an insulated layer and a smooth inner liner to allow for easier chimney cleaning. The kits also come with the cap, top plate and either a Tee or Stove-top adapter. You would choose the adapter type based on the placement of the exhaust outlet of your particular appliance.
We recommend you study the brochures to become familiar with the product of choice. Follow manufacturer recommendations whenever applicable. Never use a chimney liner that is smaller in diameter than the flue size of the appliance it is being connected to.
I wanted the smooth liner, but was short on money and time. Putting in a external double wall pipe in the summer.
is this the Lifetime smooth wall chimney liner? I read some are light weight, medium weight and etc. what is the smooth wall - heavy or medium weight? trying to figure our which type is this comparing to the options on lifetime products...they have 5 different types ranging from light weight flex, welter weight flex, middle weight flex, light heavy weight flex and heavy weight flex...which is the smooth wall you have?
this is cool
I have a 8in chimney what was installed into a old wood fireplace. Not that everything is 6in flue I either have to replace the whole system or put a liner in making it smaller and better unless you can give me better help than some of these dealers can I just buy a reducer from 6in flue to the 8in chimney pipe ? Thanks. Current wood stove is a 1975 Vermont casting defiant trying to get either a lopi liberty or a hearthstone
Noob here, but can I run the liner straight from the stove and through the chimney?
Some chimneys are not a straight shot. If not the corrugated is better with turns, offsets or what not.
I have a brick chimney. It has a clay liner. I found a hole in the living room that is round and looks to be for a stove.
It’s an old home. There is no fireplace. I think it was built for an old furnace to use as exhaust.
Can I use this liner to the hole in the living room?
Where is a good place to purchase chimney liner?
I have a 6" clay iner chimney. Should I use a 6" liner kit or a smaller liner to allow for insulation to be put around it?
Depends on what your venting size of fire box amd length of chimney
Doubble smmoth wall is only for solid fuel burning appliances! Single walls are.ment for gas! The tee would also go to a boiler!
So with the top mount , when it’s cleaned does all the creosote /soot just fall back In the stove or are you supposed to pull the stove out to clean
Falls into the stove if there's a stove adapter... if it's a tee on a rear collar insert then you would pull out stove and clean out the tee
I have a coal chimney. What product should I use?
Al2924C very exspensive liner
Hello, Question from DIY:
So with the smooth liner. Do I need insulation ???
yes. always put insulation. from what i've investigated, the insulated ones have to be replaced less often. and it will also make it less likely for creosote on an old build to catch fire.
For a true masonary chimney, I wanted to purchase this product, but when I contacted you company, I was told I would need to also insulate this pipe at an additional cost of $300.
Is that absolutely necessary ?
Very impressed with your videos and company. Very helpful. Thank You!
Would you be able to list all the items needed to do this in addition to the liner kit?
I need a liner for my chimney. For a oil burner furnace. $1300 does that sound right for a small ranch?
Jamie Adams Yes it was done 3 months ago and paid $1300.
@Dogue Cub Indeed.
@Ricky Ricardo you think breaking tile, removing tile risking your life on a roof putting a liner in a chimney busting a$$ to get it done in 2-3 hours isn’t worth that small amount of money? $1,300 is cheap and probably a scam. If you use quality products and experience, a good 25’ liner kit can cost you up to $900, smoke pipe, $150 and miscellaneous, silicone, screws, mortar, and construction adhesive $100. Now it’s up to $1,150, all that is left is $150 for labor, but now take out tax! Don’t forget about the tools and experience if something goes wrong. $1,300 is a scam and they’re using poor products and probably doing a piss poor job. Usually a liner install on a normal 6” liner should cost $100 a foot total with tax and labor, everything included. 25’ is $2,500, 30’ is $3,000 this way you know you should be getting quality products. It should only take 2-4 hours if everything goes properly.
If you want, as a homeowner buy a liner for $600-$900 and save the rest then go take the risk installing it and probably installing it wrong or get it stuck and have to pay someone with experience to remove it and have to buy their liner anyway because they don’t want to be responsible for installing your now inferior product and have any issues come back to haunt them.
@@akaredcrossbow 🤔
@@MrSprintcat scammers usually buy bulk rolls of inferior liners and parts for a cheaper price. The liner system after buying bulk costs them around $250-$300 and pocket $1000 from that cheap liner system. Usually a scam company will already have that liner system in their truck ready to scam the next person at a moment’s notice.
I have a wood burning stove and I recently had it cleaned and inspected. They quoted me $2,500 to have a new liner put in due to cracks...My wife was there for the inspection and I feel as though this is a total rip off price. Would I be able to install one of these liners myself? Is there ever a warranted $2,500 liner installation cost??
Jeremiah Sullivan let me know if you were able to do it yourself
I believe people often forget that you're not paying for JUST the materials in order to install a Chimney Liner. In fact, the majority of the cost is related to Overhead, Direct Labor and Profit. In order for a legitimate business to operate properly there are costs associated with your project other than JUST the cost of the materials, FAR MORE.

Just to mention a few... The average contractor, just to cover the above costs and make a profit of 10% is going to be above $200 an hour per man.
I believe saying that they are trying to rip you off is a VERY BROAD and ignorant statement.
If you believe that the majority of contractors WANT to charge higher prices, you're wrong... I would love to be able to provide my employees with great benefits that cost much less, But that's not the real world. Operating a legitimate company is expensive.
My business completes an average 25ft liner installation for about $2650 - A Legitimate business that takes care of its employees and its customers.
I installed smooth liner myself… 5 years later part of my stainless 316t liner is badly rusted… is it normal?
If it's been directly exposed to elements it is very normal for parts to rust while others do not. Keep an eye on it and try to create an unexposed atmosphere for the liner so moisture doesn't collect causing major rust erosion over time.
It is not common at all. It should never rust
Not a 316 t it wouldnt rust if it was
@@dylannaill2363 It was 316t smooth wall liner from rockford chimney supply... first 2-3 ft from fireplace insert all bad... small wholes all over... insulation is all black in creosote... to be honest this portion of liner it was slightly bent... not sure if this is the issue with bending that smooth wall liner...
@@sergiyr9152 was it installed right side up? 2ply lightwall stuff is the least durable liner on the market. But 5 years is a really short lifespan
If your going to use this product with a woodburner it will only last maybe 10 years or so then you will have to replace it.
Thought stainless Steel won't corrod?...
