Does size matter

[ssweb]

Got you on this one

In reviewing the order I have for my wood insert. (At least the order for today) I see that a UltraPro liner 5.5" and a 5.5" to 6" adaptor are specified.

What would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a 5.5" liner on a Hampton insert HI200 or HI300.
I understand the UltraPro liner is the lower end of the Homesaver line. I was told the owner of the store likes this better then the liner that Regency suggest and sells. Does any one know if this is a good argument

Will this make a difference on the burn, draft or Hampton Warranty in using the smaller liner?

Thanks

Scott

Prolly not if you're single ;-P

From what I have heard, many stoves really like the extra girth, but the Hampton is more interested in the length.

Well, ... nope can't say that. Then there is the .... nope can't say that either. Hmm. Yes.

The size doesn't matter as much as the movement while installing. So I have heard.

Of course size matters but an adaptor?

one should also check first to see how big a liner the flue can accommodate

If you have to use a 5.5" liner, you must have a tight hole you're going to be ramming it down... lube it well and slide it in slowly!
