A chimney liner is a very important part of the installation of a wood-burning appliance when venting into a masonry chimney. All appliances are tested to perform with a pipe of the same diameter as the collar of the appliance. It is expected that this diameter pipe will be used until the venting terminates above the chimney or building. When the smoke leaves the appliance or pipe (if the chimney is left unlined) the smoke expands. When it expands it cools. When it cools, the smoke doesn't travel upward as fast which slows the draft. This causes condensation in the form of creosote on the inside of the fireplace and chimney walls. This creosote is still flammable and if a hot enough fire is burned can ignite and cause a chimney fire. The creosote has to be cleaned from the inside of the chimney more regularly to avoid a chimney fire.

• The Tee comes in two pieces. The vertical section is connected to the liner and dropped down the chimney through a hoseclamp type loop on the horizontal section fo the tee. The hole in the vertical section is lined up with the horizontal section and tightened from the inside with a nut driver.
• The chimney liner connects from the appliance adapter and connects to the top plate above.
• The tee cap attaches to the bottom fo the tee.
• The top plate is 18" x 18". This is generally large enough to work with any clay lined chimney. It has a hose clamp type of support to support the weight of the liner.
• The chimney cap prevents weather from getting in and helps to prevent sparks from escaping. It comes standard with 3/4" Mesh. 5/8" mesh is available by request.
