Why would you even bother to install a liner? They are not cheap, however, the benefits clearly outweigh the costs. The coating protects your exhaust system, damaged or not, the heat transfer system for the fuel in the vicinity.
Liner also protect you from the byproducts of combustion in masonry, which can be extremely corrosive and harmful to your exhaust system. The gases produced by burning or gnawing actually worsen the mortar between the exhaust gasTiles in your fireplace.
Flexible stainless steel chimney lining
If the existing drainage system has been deemed unsafe because of the tiles cracked exhaust on fire, missing mortar joints, etc., then search in a flexible sleeve made of stainless steel chimney can be beneficial. Although stainless steel is hard coating, it is likely that you will not be able to use this type of food for your fireplace. If the fireplace has the slightest bend, then a hard coating is not only to theFireplace. You must also be sure to use a flexible film, when you install a new wood stove insert, because most of the time you are asked to make the film a little 'to fit in the right way on the stove. Consult an expert to decide what kind of food is best for you.
After the purchase of the ship in the correct format and material for the particular exhaust system, carefully remove the paper and place it on a flat surface. Be careful, the edges of the filmcan be very sharp and can cut. Start by connecting the plug bottom. Then tighten the clamp, because it is very careful to put it firmly on the film. After measuring the exact length of the chimney (from the bottom to the top of the crown) to add 12-18 cm and cut the film with tin snips. It is necessary to properly install the lower connector termination.
Fireplace insulation is required for the entire length of the film. To determinethe isolation of the correct width, its time for a small elementary school geometry: multiply the diameter of the coating of 3.14 (pi) to get the circumference of the circle, and then add an inch to that number, as one inch overlap is required insulate the coating. As long as the insulation is in the chimney is not necessary to have these exact numbers in the form, simply can not be less.
Put the insulation on the bottom with the side facing the ground and set the sheetStainless steel housing in the middle. Wound after filing, the use of aluminum tape over the seam so that it comfortably. Once that is established with a long piece of tape the length of the ship as a whole in order to cover the seam. This continuous piece of tape to ensure the best insulation.
Mesh is also necessary when it comes to insulating coating. If this is not in place then the same insulation can be damaged if it changes in the fireplace. Make sure your mesh covers the entire lengththe coating. Do not forget to also encapsulate the lower connecting piece by piece. Ties are best for securing your network, and usually contain in covering kits. Use the tabs to secure the network to one end of the coating. Disconnect power at the other end of the coating until it is firmly and fasten the clamp. For security reasons, the same tin snips to cut any extras yet.
Working on a roof, no matter what you do, a lot of security measures.Be sure to take all these precautions, and you have enough people to safely install the liner. You'll fall in principle allows the primer through the top of the chimney and feed all the way down to the ground. You may need to pull a rope to the bottom of the coating and someone was in the apartment are bound from below. Be sure to keep the cover centered as possible, while going down in the exhaust system. This prevents damage toInsulation or the same coating.
After the coating in the correct position, it's time to cut off the top of the cover to fit properly. Be sure to leave four inches more on the outside of the exhaust system so that the coating is equal to the height of the crown. Hold down the connector firmly in place and apply silicone seal at the top of the first chimney brick chimney or crown Then place the top plate over the liner and press into the seal. Drag theTo ensure the terminal or band around the lining of the coating on the top plate. Then install the stainless steel plug by pulling on the collar of the top plate.
If you have your ship to the device vertically, simply connect the plug to the liner and the bottom end. If you have a vertical connection, then you're done! If you are connected horizontally to decide the point at which the tube that passes the wall to connecttee body. Drill a hole through the insulation and mesh, to indicate where the T-snout and tea will connect. Back up the nose and the body of T with a metal band that has been set and the T-body wraps in the ass. Strip the snout of the tee and fill the hole in the face with a brick and mortar.
Make sure you follow a certain direction for your cladding fireplace, keep the edges of the steel to be smooth and carefully, while working on the roof of aStructure.
