Stainless Steel Liners in Connecticut

Stainless steel is one of the most flexible relining options for existing masonry chimneys. ABC Chimney Solutions commonly works with 304L and 316L stainless products, selecting the product that fits the fuel, appliance and system requirements rather than treating every installation as the same kit.

How a flexible liner is installed

ABC Chimney Solutions can lower a flexible stainless liner from the top while using a rope from below to guide and pull it through the flue. Bends, narrow areas and obstructions may require rotating the liner, changing the pulling angle or creating a controlled access point. At the bottom, the liner is connected to the appliance or venting arrangement using the correct transition for the project.

Finishing the top

Once the liner is set at the correct length, ABC Chimney Solutions cuts and secures it, installs the top plate over the flue opening, seals the upper area and installs the cap supplied with the liner kit. Every liner installation includes a cap as part of the system.

Final operation check

The connections and draft are checked after installation so the team can confirm that the completed system is operating as intended before the job is closed out.

Product warranty

Qualifying stainless liner products installed by ABC Chimney Solutions carry the manufacturer's lifetime product warranty. The website should describe this specifically as a manufacturer product warranty rather than implying an unlimited lifetime workmanship warranty.

Also part of Liners & Venting

A chimney liner is part of the venting system, not just a metal tube dropped inside the chimney. The correct liner depends on the appliance, fuel, BTU input, vent connection, chimney height, existing flue and applicable manufacturer and code requirements. ABC Chimney Solutions evaluates those factors before recommending a liner type or size.

Questions & Answers

Stainless Steel Liners — frequently asked

What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about stainless steel liners.

Do you install 304L and 316L stainless chimney liners?

Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions works with 304L and 316L stainless liner products and selects the appropriate product for the appliance and venting application. Learn more about this service.

Can a flexible liner pass through bends in an old chimney?

Often, yes. ABC Chimney Solutions uses flexible liner systems and installation techniques such as controlled pulling and rotation to work through many bends and irregularities in existing masonry flues. Learn more about this service.

Does a new liner installation include a chimney cap?

Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions includes the cap supplied with the liner system as part of a complete new liner installation. Learn more about this service.

Is there a lifetime warranty on the liner?

Qualifying liner products installed by ABC Chimney Solutions carry the manufacturer's lifetime product warranty. The exact product warranty should be confirmed for the liner selected for the project. Learn more about this service.

Can you explain how a flexible liner is installed?

ABC Chimney Solutions can lower a flexible stainless liner from the top while using a rope from below to guide and pull it through the flue. Bends, narrow areas and obstructions may require rotating the liner, changing the pulling angle or creating a controlled access point. At the bottom, the liner is connected to the appliance or venting arrangement using the correct transition for the project. Learn more about this service.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by finishing the top?

Once the liner is set at the correct length, ABC Chimney Solutions cuts and secures it, installs the top plate over the flue opening, seals the upper area and installs the cap supplied with the liner kit. Every liner installation includes a cap as part of the system. Learn more about this service.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by final operation check?

ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every job. The connections and draft are checked after installation so the team can confirm that the completed system is operating as intended before the job is closed out. Learn more about this service.

What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by product warranty?

Qualifying stainless liner products installed by ABC Chimney Solutions carry the manufacturer's lifetime product warranty. The website should describe this specifically as a manufacturer product warranty rather than implying an unlimited lifetime workmanship warranty. Learn more about this service.

Why stainless rather than another material?

It resists the acidic condensate that combustion produces, it can be passed through a chimney that is not straight, and it is made in the sizes appliances actually need. That combination is why it is the common answer. ABC Chimney Solutions works to this on every stainless steel liners job it takes on. Learn more about this service.

Is a rigid or flexible liner better?

Rigid where the flue is straight and accessible, flexible where the chimney has offsets. The chimney decides it rather than a preference, and ABC Chimney Solutions establishes the route before choosing. Learn more about this service.

Should the liner be insulated?

Insulation keeps flue temperatures up, which improves draft and reduces condensation, and it is often required for the appliance. Whether it is needed here depends on the appliance and the chimney. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book stainless steel liners. Learn more about this service.

Does a stainless liner have a warranty?

The liner system carries the manufacturer's own product warranty. ABC Chimney Solutions will tell you what the specific product carries rather than making a claim of its own. Learn more about this service.

Can a stainless liner be fitted to a heating appliance?

Yes, and the alloy and size are chosen for the fuel and the appliance. A liner suited to a wood stove is not automatically right for an oil or gas appliance. ABC Chimney Solutions covers this as part of its stainless steel liners work in Connecticut. Learn more about this service.

What happens at the top of the liner?

It is finished with a top plate, seal and cap so water cannot run into the space between the liner and the masonry. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book stainless steel liners. Learn more about this service.

What does a chimney liner do?

It gives the products of combustion a contained, correctly sized route out of the building, and keeps heat and acidic condensate away from the surrounding masonry. A chimney without a sound liner is passing both into the structure. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book stainless steel liners. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say

Reviews from the towns we work in

Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.

The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Sarah MitchellHomeowner · West Hartford, CT
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Michael TurnerHomeowner · New Haven, CT
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Elena RossiHomeowner · Stamford, CT
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Priya RamanHomeowner · Greenwich, CT
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Tom AlvarezHomeowner · Fairfield, CT
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Grace OkaforHomeowner · Simsbury, CT
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
