Chimney Size Too Small For 6" Insulated Flex Liner Help Me!

[blackattack3]

I went backup on the roof and rechecked my measurements. Inside diam. of clay liner is 6-3/4".
I found a liner company out of Michigan that sells square liners. They offer a 5.5" square outside diam. liner. This would fit and with there 1/2" insulation would give me 1/4" to play with.

By the time you wrap it and put the mesh on you will be really close to if not over that 6.75" any slight misalignment of tiles and you will not have a chance.

Get one lenght and give it a test run and see if it fits all the was down.

Thanks for the idea! I'm going to make a plug the same diam. weighted and lower it down.
I also realized that even with the square liner 1/4" insulation is all I can use due to size restrictions.
Thank you all for all your input!! Mike

That wont be enough to bring the chimney up to code unless it has that clearance. Why are you so dead set against remiving the clay?

You also havent answered the clearance to combustibles question. Imo I would just get the clay out and put in an insulated 6" liner. You have next to no room to work with inside that clay.

This chimney has no cleanout. No way to get the broken clay out. By the time I have the clay liner and a cleanout added I would have way too much money spent. Could not recoup the cost including the stove and liner. But thanks for your options.

As i said you dont need a cleanout you can take it out the crock.

 

[bholler]

Do you have the required clearances?

Wondering how the heck you remove the clay tiles from a masonry chimney

Slowly lower a clay whacker down & smash them up. Clay breaks pretty easy. Then remove the pieces.

(^ Highly technical tool terminology )

Like said above with a tile breaker.
