- This video shows the installation of a stove, as well as the initial preparation, testing and also re-lining of an existing chimney using Schiedel's TecnoFlex Flexible Liner. There are two methods of termination shown: Traditional clamp and plate, as well as using a screw fit pot hanger.

Hello do all chimneys have an offset bend in them and not just straight up. Thanks
Cool product. Is there a way to retrofit an insert. The background music is very soothing.
Hi. You should be able to retrofit an insert. A standard stove is freestanding under the chimney breast, so if the insert stove is fixed correctly then why not? :)
Why do you need a flue if you have a chimney
Can't you have a bit of round Steel tube A meter half going into the chimney and then put a plate on the
Like you have
Why isn't leca dry fill insulation used to insulate the stainless steel flexible liner?
I've read on another document of schiedel leca is used, but also I think they don't want to promote a cheap solution
Is there any reason that I can't use the liner and hook up directly to the furnace itself?
Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying, the main reason is that the heat from the top of the stove / furnace is too much and would melt or damage the flexible liner. For this reason, you always have a starting pipe and adaptor which is rigid.

What would happen if the flexi pipe was installed upside down?
Thanks
IDIOT
I have a cast in place old corroded 6" iron liner pipe in my chimney, they never capped the top and water has eroded it, do you think a professional could re line it using a 5" flexible liner, that is one inch smaller without having to remove the corroded one?
Bad idea.
No vermiculite insulation around the new liner?? I thought that it's essential to insulate. I have removed several burnt out liners because of lack of insulation and burn out
Michael, where do I put the vermiculite - on top of the closure plate? If so, to what depth? Or do I just pour a LOT of it down the outside of the liner from the chimney top? Thanks.
@@jimskirtt5717 How are you Jim? First you need to ensure that the base is well sealed with a neatly cut steel plate so the vermiculite doesn't pour onto the floor, then head up top to the chimney top and I normally cut a hole out of the base of a large bucket of plastic tub. The hole will be slightly bigger than your new steel flue liner but not larger than the old flue. Then tape the top of the new liner and pour the vermiculite into the tub. That will guide the vermiculite into the gap between your new steel liner and the old flue. It could take a few bags in large chimneys

Many thanks for that, Michael. Much appreciated.
Anyone know What sealant that is or is it fire cement 😀
Hi. According to our Installation Instructions: "The connection to the appliance should be made using fire cement/rope or high temperature sealant to ensure a positive
seal. Where TecnoFlex Plus is to be fitted to the top of an open fire place, a Schiedel Rite-Vent gather unit should be fitted into the throat of the chimney connected to the TecnoFlex Plus and sealed off.
When connecting Triplelock flex to a Schiedel Rite-Vent flue box, the flexible liner simply pushes directly on to the fast fix spigot. No sealant is required.
When making a connection to a fluepipe in another product type, such as rigid stainless steel single or double wall or
vitreous enamel, then the appropriate Schiedel approved connector to/from flexible should be used. The connector should be suitably sealed to the appliance spigot ensuring a gas tight joint."
There are more details in our various Installation Instructions - www.schiedel.com/uk/chimney-and-flue-installation-instructions/
Thank you for that info buddy 😀😎
