Liners and the damper

Wondering what happens to the damper when a liner goes in? For an insert, the liner connects straight to the insert's outlet and runs through the damper opening, so the old damper may be removed or fixed open. For an open fireplace, the liner connects above the damper.

Liner installation can affect the existing throat damper. If it must be altered, our specialists explain why and how the installation will preserve the required venting. A top damper is an option only for a compatible fireplace and fuel; an insert may have different requirements. Discuss the proposed arrangement in Cross Creek at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Wood heat and deposit in the liner

Heating your home in Cross Creek with a wood insert means long fires for the liner, and more deposit than an occasional fireplace gives it. Our pros size the liner so the flue stays warm, insulate it where the listing calls for it, and set a sweep schedule that keeps deposit from building up in the new liner.

How It Works

Sizing starts with what you burn

Read the appliance

The rating plate and manual come first, then the flue is measured and inspected.
Sweep and prove the path

After a sweep, a test piece is run down the flue to confirm the liner will pass.
Wrap, feed and connect

The liner is insulated where needed, fed down, and connected at the bottom.
Seal the top, explain break-in

The top plate and cap go on, the draft is checked, and you get break-in steps.

316L and AL29-4C stainless

Makers match the liner alloy to the exhaust. National Chimney's instructions, for example, list 316L stainless for wood, pellet, coal, oil and non-condensing gas appliances, and AL29-4C for high-efficiency gas units, whose cooler exhaust condenses and attacks metal harder.

Using 316L on a high-efficiency appliance shortens the liner's life. Using AL29-4C on a wood appliance isn't what it's listed for. Our pros read the appliance type before choosing and name the alloy on the quote.

If you might change appliances later, they'll mention which choice keeps your options open. The alloy also decides which cap and top plate go with the liner, and those are matched.

Where aluminum liners are allowed

Aluminum flexible liners are lighter and cheaper, and they turn up in chimneys serving gas water heaters and furnaces. Their makers limit them: Selkirk's aluminum liner, for instance, is for Category I gas appliances only, and not for solid or liquid fuels or other gas categories.

We check any aluminum liner already in your chimney against the appliance it serves. If the appliance has been changed, or a wood fireplace shares the chimney, the aluminum liner may no longer be suitable.

When they install new, they choose stainless unless the appliance and the maker's rules clearly allow aluminum. The appliance label settles it.

What relining does to the damper

On an insert installation, the liner runs through the damper opening to the insert's outlet. The old throat damper is either removed or fixed open, depending on the insert's instructions, since the insert has its own controls.

On an open fireplace, the liner connects above the damper, and the damper stays in use. If it's rusted or warped, it's repaired or replaced as part of the job.

On setups where the throat damper is gone, a sealing damper at the top plate can close the liner between fires. Our pros explain which applies to yours and price each part. Each part is listed.

FAQs

Liner questions from homeowners

Why is my water heater flue crumbling?

It may be too big for the water heater, especially after a furnace change, so the exhaust condenses inside. A liner sized to the water heater stops it. Talk to us about it in Cross Creek at (352) 675-6366.

Do you run the gas line on a conversion?

No, the gas line is a gas contractor's work. Our specialists handle the liner and venting, and your quote says who handles each part.
