I sent him one this morning as well (unrelated topic) and still haven't heard from him. Don't worry though, Rainer always gets around to returning mail, even if it takes him a little time. I can't say enough good things about my dealings with him or the Magnaflex liners...Franks said:
Argh.. LOL.. I'm out on the factory floor trying to see if we can ovalize that product.... I know I can definitely do the last 5 feet with an inside out ovalizing machine. But doing an entire roll I have to run it through a machine that ovalizes outside- in... I'm working on it..

I wonder if I could stuff that up/down my 8" exterior metalbestos? That 90 degree bend would be a real bear. :lol:
Dang, when you hit the 'ignore member" button in settings, it doesn't work when that member changes their name.
Who needs insulated liners? This is not sarcastic, I'm serious. Do you just need insulated liners in some kinds of chimneys and fireplaces, or are they preferred over "regular" liners even in all masonry, tile lined chimneys in good shape? You guys have convinced me elsewhere on here about the need for a liner, to help make the stove run a lot more efficiently, etc. Does an insulated liner do even more, or is it same/same unless you have more complicated install requirements?

Who needs insulated liners - in essence, anyone who can't confirm the full integrity of a brick flue, or who can't confirm the external clearances from the outside of the brick structure to nearby combustibles. They do indeed improve performance in the begining and end phases of a burn cycle as the flue draft builds quickeer because the flue heats up quicker.
Give the insulated liner link below a read - covers most of the details
Magnaflex - drop a post on here once your instructions are posted please. Looking forward to giving them a read.
My check went out today for 25' of Insul-Flex liner, three piece tee, rain cap and top plate that Magna Flex sells as a kit.
When I finally am able to do the install I'll be sure to take pictures and do some kind of write up. Could be awhile before I get this done. I will pick up my stove on Friday and work on clearance issues while off on vacation. This will be my first stove and install.

Great. Magnaflex makes a great product, I'm sure you'll be happier than a crazed caplock key. I'd like to see photos
One question (which Linux_Tyro just caused my brain cell to formulate)... how flexible is this new liner? I obviously know how you ship a traditional flex liner and the size of the box it comes in, but can a 25' length of this insulated flex be shipped in the same size box, or even shipped easily?
BTW, no problem on the PM... I'll be here tomorrow as well, so no rush.

will have pics up in a few minutes... and pulling UL certs as well.... I now know why his name is Jesus... every time someone talks to him they probably say "jesus christ"

No, it's because he is all knowing and spreads the message of doom and armgeddon to the people. Get it right!
And for those who know palette wrappers, that's a lantech model in the background and we swear by it, if we could only get something to wrap the pipe better with it would be fantastic.
Magnaflex you seriously need to read the stickey up top about shrinking pictures for the web and forums. :coolsmirk:
And are those hose clamps a part of the liner? If so there is another 1/2" or so of width.

Because you are acting as does a fool. Better to be silent and thought of a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
You may have a very good point in this "discussion", but no one will listen to you because they will think you the fool.
MagnaFlex says he'll post the UL certs and instructions - let him do so before you continue to blast away at him.
Ignoring you doesn't seem to work, as your ever changing name beats the filter. (Mods - there must be a rule on that somewhere eh?)

yes -
because
1) i trust Magnaflex will not sell something that will harm people
2)
edit
Magnaflex, Like Brother Bart my only concern would be if the clamps are a part of the liner. If they are they will add to the dimension listed somewhat and could tend to get hung up if the space was tight. I still like it better than the wire mesh foil faced idea for durability when you pull it in.
