I've done alot of reading of past posts and put in a few of my own with some limited feedback but I am going to put in one last post on the topic. My install plan:
1. Regency CI1200 Insert into a Zero Clearance, Factory, Prefab Majestic BR42 Fireplace.
2. Reline existing double wall factory metal chimney (8" diameter) with a 6" flexible SS liner.
- What is best insulation method? Blanket wrap? How thick - 1/2"?
- Is there a pre-insulated product available that will fit thru the damper?
- The Chimney length is about 20'. Should flex be used the entire length or just from the insert thru the damper?
- Should the original Chimney Cap be replaced?
- An adpter such as http://www.efireplacestore.com/cpf-14940.html must be used to allow airflow in original factory chimney?
3. Block Off Plate
- Install block off plate (ring) with screws and high-temp silicone.
I would like this all to be reversible. Does anyone with experience doing this type of install have any feedback (good or bad)??
Thanks!
