Simpson duraliner installation

Restore Deteriorating Chimneys with DuraLiner When a masonry chimney is damaged or has fallen down, it can be replaced with a safe, listed liner system or factory-built chimney.

See Typical Installations for details. Typical Installation. Refer to our Typical Installation drawings to select the appropriate component parts for your installation The inner pipe diameter should match the outlet size of the appliance.

Be fire safe! Follow local building codes and have your venting system inspected. Determine the length of liner needed. Make sure the top of the masonry chimney has a leveled surface to insure a proper fit for the Extend-A-Cap or Transition Anchor Plate and to provide a secure, leak-proof installation.

If a free-standing appliance is used, select the vent or stovepipe pieces to connect from the appliance to the liner. Refer to installation instructions. Check to be sure the installation complies with all local and national code requirements, including clearance to combustibles. Contact the local building inspector for permit requirements. Can I count on this "factory insulation" or I would have to use a separate insulation sleeve or wrap-around blanket?

On the other hand, these folks appear to know their business, and the fact that they only suggest using their insulation sleeves over flex liner sections, tells me they feel pretty confident the rigid sections do not need extra insulation.

You will need a top plate kit with a cap to go along with the pipe, which comes with the support clamp. Also you will need a rivet gun because that's how the pieces go together. Lasher New Member. Oct 26, 69 NW Connecticut. I just installed the Simpson Duraliner. The top 22 feet are the rigid and the bottom 5 feet are the "rigid" flex.

There is regular flex and a rigid flex. I believe you need to use the rigid flex stuff with the rigid pipe. You are correct. The duraliner has two shells. The inside shell is stainless steel, then a layer of insulation and an outer shell some other kind of steel. The duraliner is rated for a chimney fire and zero clearence with chimney. I was a little nervous at first about spending the money on the duraliner, but afterwards I think it was very well spent. The pieces got together with rivit gun very easily and create a tight seal.

You can look at my profile and see the posts I put up about my installation. By the way, with this stuff, my draft is awesome and I feel very safe with the product. Thank you for the replies. Manuals read, techs consulted, similar installations looked at, I now know what to order and how to go about this.

Case closed. Corie Minister of Fire. Nov 18, 2, Camp Hill, PA. The Simpson Duraliner is nearly a Class A chimney system that you can drop down an existing masonry chimney. VERY good stuff. Hogzwild did it and I believe he was very happy, and remains very happy with the product.

Thank you Corie. I have read a few posts about Hogzwild's experience with this stuff, and am all set to use it. Nov 14, 6, madison hgts. Similar threads M. Chimney liner question
