Typical Installations

Using the Typical Venting Installation drawings, select the appropriate component parts for your installation.

Before relining a chimney, it should be cleaned and inspected to verify the integrity of the mortar and masonry. In addition, have a certified chimney professional determine if the masonry was constructed with 0"or 1" clearance to the surrounding combustibles. This is an important fire safety issue that may have an influence on how the liner is installed.

Be sure to select the proper liner for the application. DuraFlex SS is used for appliances that use oil, wood, or wood-pellets for fuel; DuraFlex AL is for a non-condensing gas appliance.

Refer to the appliance manufacturer for installation requirements affecting venting. Keep the vent path as straight as possible for best performance.

The inner pipe diameter should match the outlet size of the appliance.

Check the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions to confirm which types of vent configurations are permitted (i.e. horizontal, vertical, chimney reline, etc.). Also, check for any venting restrictions such as maximum horizontal run, minimum and maximum vertical rise, maximum offset, etc.

Be sure to select the proper liner for the application. DuraFlex Stainless Steel is used for appliances that use oil, wood, or wood-pellets for fuel; DuraFlex Aluminum is for a non-condensing gas appliance.
