If the chimney crown is damaged, a qualified mason must re-
pair it in accordance with nationally recognized building codes
or standards. One such standard which may be referenced is
the Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel
Burning Appliances, ANSI/NFPA 211.

ix elining
Relining options include B vent and flexible liners.
If the chimney has diagonal offsets, B vent probably cannot
be used.
If B vent is to be used, it must be supported adequately.
Supports (such as fire stops or thimbles) must be used to
prevent the B vent from coming into direct contact with the tile
liner or chimney walls. Direct contact would result in higher
heat loss, with an increased possibility of poor venting system
performance.
It is not acceptable to vent one appliance inside the B vent
and other appliances outside. The excess space between the
B vent and the chimney walls must be covered at the top of
the chimney by a weatherproof, corrosion resistant flashing.
The B vent should then be topped with a listed vent cap. The
listed vent cap will, when installed per the manufacturer's in-
structions, prevent problems due to rain, birds, or wind effects.
A B-vent installed as described in this section is considered to
be an enclosed vent system, and the sizing tables in National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in
the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/
CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments may be used.
If a flexible liner is to be used, it must be made of the proper
materials:
• For most residential applications, an aluminum liner
should be acceptable.
Flexible liners specifically intended and tested for
gas applications are listed in the UL "Gas and Oil
Equipment Directory". (UL Standard 1777).
For sizing of flexible liners, see the tables in the National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the
National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/
CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.
To install the liner, read and follow the liner manufacturer's
instructions and your local codes. Excess liner length should
be pulled out of the chimney and cut off. Use caution when
doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp.
Do not spiral excess liner inside of the chimney. Support the
liner as recommended by the liner manufacturer.
Some manufacturers of flexible liners offer an insulation
sleeve designed to be added to the liner before it is installed
in the chimney. (Poured insulation, either vermiculite or other
materials, is no longer recommended.) Insulation will need to
be added to the flexible liner if:
• It is required by the liner manufacturer's instructions.
rown
• The previous liner was properly sized and installed,
and suffered from condensation damage.
• It is required by your local building codes.
Even if none of those three conditions exist which require ad-
ditional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:
• The local climate is very cold.
• The chimney is very tall.
• The vent connectors used are very long or have a
large number of elbows.
• Local experience indicates that flexible liners installed
without insulation are likely to have condensation
problems.
Insulation must be selected and installed in accordance with
the liner manufacturer's instructions.
Finally, cap the chimney and terminate the liner in accordance
with the liner manufacturer's instructions.
