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 Inglis at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Liner tops close to the coast

Salt from the coast can reach the top of a chimney in Inglis. Stainless top plates and caps handle it well, while uncoated steel parts rust. Our specialists fit stainless parts with matching hardware and check the seals at the plate edges, so water and salt can't get down around the liner. Any rust already started on older parts gets a price for replacement.

How It Works

Relining day in Inglis

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.

Why the appliance sets the liner

A liner is part of the appliance's venting system, so the appliance's instructions and listing come first. They name the flue size, sometimes the liner type, and the clearances.

A wood insert might call for a full-length liner of a set diameter. A furnace's instructions point to sizing from the national gas code's venting tables. An open fireplace has its flue size set by the building code in relation to its opening.

Nothing gets measured until the appliance's rating plate and manual are read, so the liner that goes in is the one the appliance was tested with, with no size picked from memory.

Proving the flue before ordering

Proving the flue before installation is something Selkirk's instructions describe: running a test piece or guide cone of the liner's size down the full length to be sure it will pass.

Our specialists run that test on each relining job. Loose tile, mortar ledges, tight joints and offsets show up during the test, and they're cleared or planned for before the liner is ordered. Sometimes the test shows a smaller liner or an oval one is needed.

It's a short step that prevents the worst install-day surprise: a liner stuck halfway down a flue it couldn't have fit. The result is noted on the quote.

What cracked tiles let through

Clay flue tiles keep heat, smoke and moisture inside the flue. When they crack, shift or lose their joints, heat reaches the brick around them, smoke finds its way into the masonry, and in some chimneys it can reach framing nearby.

Tiles crack from chimney fires, from years of heating and cooling, and from settling. Once they're broken, they can't be patched from the inside in a way that lasts.

Our specialists recommend relining with a continuous stainless liner that doesn't depend on the old tile, and until that's done, the fireplace stays out of use. The reason is written on your quote.

FAQs

Before relining in Inglis, a few answers

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.

Do you sweep the flue before relining?

Yes. Liner makers require a clean flue and smoke chamber before installation, and a clean flue shows the damage that affects the install. The sweep is priced on its own line.
