FULL FLUE LINER METHOD
The Insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection authority. In Canada a full flue liner is
required. A full flue liner is where a stainless steel rigid or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert outlet collar to the
top of the chimney. The Soca Industries recommends the use of a full liner as the safest installation and provides the most
optimum performance.
1.
Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing flue to the floor of the hearth. This will allow extra length
of liner for flashing and rain cap.
2.
Feed the stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney, through the damper area and into the fireplace cavity.
3.
Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4.
Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and attach the connector to the stove collar.
NOTE
: If it is necessary to get access to the connector pipe through the flue outlet of the insert, the baffle can be
removed.
5.
Measure, trim and shape a top flashing to fit the existing chimney flue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on each side.
Place flashing over top of the liner and seat firmly against the tile.
6.
Screw flashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around flashing with silicone.
7.
Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar may be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fireplace chimney.
