Saf-T Liner should not extend more than 6 inches above the masonry chimney. Any additional flue liner height above the
masonry chimney will create condensation resulting in the buildup of excessive creosote.
Do not connect more than one solid fuel burning appliance to a single chimney flue and do not connect gas or liquid fired
appliancesto chimney fluesserving a solid fuel burningappliance.

Please note: While Saf-T Wrap is not required for every application, it is highly recommended. The performance
of the heating system is greatly enhanced when adding Saf-T Wrap. An insulated system helps to improve draft,
minimize condensation and flue surfaces warm up quickly. This added feature is important for exterior chimneys.
Anew masonry chimney must comply with the National Building Code and NFPA211.
The safe operation of a venting system depends on the proper installation and use of all materials and components supplied
and proper use and operation of the connected heating equipment. Liner and component arrangements depend on the size
and configuration of the chimney structure and the type, number and location of the appliances that are to be vented into the
chimney.
Do not connect more than one solid fuel burning appliance to a single chimney flue and do not connect gas or liquid fired
appliancesto chimney fluesserving a solid fuel burningappliance.
The minimum allowable liner height is 8 feet with a maximum of 80 feet.
Donot fill theair space betweenthe linerandchimney withloosefill insulation
or cement. Saf-T Wrap is the approved insulation wrap to use with Saf-T
Liner. Saf-T Wrap is an 8 lb. density insulation. The Saf-T Wrap is used to
reduce the clearance to combustible construction outside of the masonry
chimney. The clearance between the masonry chimney and combustible
materials is dependent on the installation configuration as shown inTable 2
and Figure 2. Saf-T Wrap is available for tee sections and in 24” lengths.
Saf-TWrapmust covertheSaf-T Linerfromthe appliance teeorthe topofthe
smoke chamber area to within 8” but not closer than 3” of the top of the
masonry chimney. See note next page.

The size of the liner selected should be the same size of the
appliance flue outlet opening or as specified in the appliance
manufacturer’sinstructions. Correct sizingis criticalfor ventingof
lowtemperature flueproducts ingeographical areas experiencing
sustainedlow ambienttemperatures. Impropersizing maylead to
excessive condensation of moisture, creosote buildup and poor
draft. A certified technician may alter the size of the liner to suit
the appliance within codes perimeters. Consult the appliance

SAFETY
Caution must be used when working on a roof. The pitch of the roof and type of shingles must be considered before you set
up for your installation. Insure the safety of all workers at all times. Proper and safe scaffolding should be used for a safe
installation. Check with local safety codes if safety equipment is required.
Alwaysinspect worksite. Check overheadfor powerlines, antennas,brick chimneyor otherobstacles. Secure laddersto the
building or to the chimney if safe to do so before installing the liner.

DETERMINING TOTAL LENGTH OF SAF-T LINER
SIDE VENTING INTO EXISTING MASONRY CHIMNEY:
Measure the length of the chimney flue to determine the length of
liner needed by utilizing a tape measure. From this length subtract
14”for eachtee required.
It is recommended that Saf-T Liner be installed with an accessible
clean-out tee that will facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance of
the chimney system.
One tee will be required for the appliance, as well as a tee at the
base of the Saf-T Liner as a clean-out. Determine the distance
between these two tees and then the distance above the appliance
tee to the top of the chimney. See Fig. 5.
The liner assembly will be supported by the tee take-offs and the
clean-outtee resting onnon-combustible material. Provide access
to the Cleanout Tee. See Fig. 6. FIG.4
AreaA(1/10th
ofArea B)
Area B
Measure the dimension of the chimney opening at its smallest
point (Fig. 3). Take the smaller of the two measurements (A &
B)and deduct2” to arrive at themaximum diameterof theSaf-T
Liner that may be installed.
Saf-T Liner may be installed in any masonry chimney with an
insidedimension greaterthan 7” x7” andconstructed of4” thick
nominal solid or cored, brick or masonry.
When using Saf-T Liner to vent a masonry fireplace, the cross
sectionopening ofthe flue(AreaA) shall not be lessthan 1/10th
ofthefaceareaof thefireplaceopening(AreaB),to insureproper
draft (see Fig. 4).
FIG.3
AB
Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves throughout installation. Wear eye protection and dust respirator whenever in
contact with creosote, soot, mortar or insulation.
Before the installation of the liner, have the masonry chimney cleaned by a certified chimney sweep. All tar glazed creosote
andsoot depositedon theinternal chimneywalls andsmoke chamberof thefireplace mustbe removed. Failureto thoroughly
clean the chimney before installing the new liner may lead to fire and or smoke damage to the home.
CHIMNEYPREPARATION
Since chimneys are usually very sootyand dusty, it is advisable to remove or cover thefurniture, rugs, etc. for the duration of
the cleaning and installation of the liner.
These instructions are written on the assumption that the existing masonry chimney is structurally sound in construction and
freefrom all looseand potentiallyflammable debris.
If you find any cracked, loose or missing bricks or tiles, have them repaired or replaced. Any obstructions restricting the
installation of Saf-TLiner must be removed - provided it does not affect the structural soundness of the masonry chimney.
The air space clearances between the masonry chimney exterior and combustible materials must be checked to verify the
chimney is in accordance with applicable building code requirements (see Table 1 and Fig. 2).
DETERMININGTHELINER DIAMETER
TheSaf-T Linermust beproperly sizedfor yourheating appliance. Thediameter ofthe Saf-TLiner fora singleappliance shall
not be less than the diameter of the appliance flue collar or that specified in the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.

FIXEDLENGTHS:
Saf-T Liner is available in 12”, 18”, 24”, 36” and 48” fixed Lengths. To
determinethe length andnumber oflinersections requiredcompletethe
following: Calculate the number of fixed and/or telescoping lengths
required to line the chimney and extend not more than 6” above the
termination of the masonry chimney (Remember each fixed length’s
measurement must be reduced by 2” to account for overlap of each
section). See Fig. 8.
FIG.8
TELESCOPINGLENGTHS:
The telescoping section will adjust from 50” to
90” for required height. NOTE: Two is the
maximum number of telescoping lengths which

OPENINGOF THE CHIMNEY
NOTE: Wear eye protection and dust respirator.
An opening for the liner system will have to be made for any existing masonry chimney without an opening. If there is an
opening, it may need to be expanded in order to insert the tee take off into the removable tee or accommodate the support
system chosen.
Tomake theinitial openinginto themasonry chimney, select a brick that is at the level you want the stove pipe to enter the wall
(atleast 18”from unprotectedcombustibles unlessa listed wallpenetration assemblyor otherapproved methodis used). The
wallpenetration assembly mustbe above the appliance. Drill aseries of holesin themortar around theperimeter of thebrick

PRE-ASSEMBLY OF SAF-T LINER PARTS
Inorder to reduceunnecessary tripsup anddown the ladder, the liner may be pre-assembled into sections 8’to 10’in length.
Thesecan besafely carriedupa ladderto thechimney. However, alwayscheck overhead forantennaes, powerlines, orother
obstacles before erecting your ladder and installing liner. Preassemble the Saf-TLiner on the ground and check the overall
length. REMEMBER- thesmall endis always facingdown andthe arrowsmarked oneach liner sectionare topoint up. Using
the high speed drill bit, drill through the pilot holes of one section into the crimped end of the next section. Pop rivet the liner
intomanageable lengths usingthe four rivets supplied.
MASONRYCHIMNEY:
In the case of a straight chimney liner job, the clean out tee should be riveted to the first liner section and the tee cover
attachedto the tee. Placeeither a telescopingsection or slipconnector and aliner section betweenthe cleanout teeand the
applance tee to allow for expansion and contraction of the system.
HEARTH/FIREPLACEINSERTSTOVE:
Theappliance connector shouldbe riveted tothe first linersection with four opposing poprivets.
ATTACHINGLOWERINGROPE:
Thelowering ropeshould beattached tothe firstsection ofSaf-T Liner or the opening
inthe teeby any oneof manymethods incuding,hooks, duct tape or byriveting loops
intoplace onthe liner. Useany methodthat willprovide asecure holdon theliner and
alloweasy removalof the rope after installation. Makesure therope ison theoutside
of the liner, so you will be able to add lengths and lower the assembly down the
chimney (see Fig. 20). You would then lower the rope and the first assembly until the top
is about six inches above the chimney top and secure (tie) the rope off in any convenient
secured way. This is so that securing of the next section can be done easily.

INSTALLINGYOURSAF-TLINERANDSAF-T WRAP INSULATION:
CAUTION must be used when working on a roof. Proper and safe scaffolding
should be used for a safe installation of the Saf-T Liner. Always use a respirator
and eye protection when using Saf-T Wrap.
MASONRYCHIMNEY:
Carefullylower thefirst sectionof liner(see Fig.20), consistingof cleanouttee body,
tee cover and first liner section for between the tees, until the top is about 6” - 12”
above the chimney top. Secure the lowering rope to the chimney top to prevent the
Saf-TLiner from fallingfurther intothe chimney.
Insulatethe firstsection ofSaf-T Linerwith a 24” section ofSaf-T Wrap. Securethe
edgesof theSaf-T Wrapby closing thesnap-lock seamtogether (Fig. 21-1). Crimp
(Fig. 21-2) the top and bottom of the section with pliers ( Fig. 21-3) and and slide it
down to form a continuous enclosure of insulation (Fig.23). Attach the next liner
sectiontotheoneinthechimneyandrivetthe two sectionstogether with fouropposing
rivets.
Repeat these procedures until the liner section is ready to be guided through the
gear hose clamps of the appliance and clean-out tee take offs. Carefully lower the
linersystem through the appliance takeoff, thenthrough theclean out takeoff band
until the cut out sections line up.
Secure the take off to the clean out tee by tightening the geared hose clamp (see

CLOSINGTHEMASONRY CHIMNEY OPENING:
Non-FireplaceChimney
Before closing the opening in the masonry chimney, make certain that the Saf-T Wrap is positioned securely around the
appliancetee.
Several brick halves and mortar will be needed to close in around the take-off. Rebuild the masonry chimney using brick as
squareas possible. Fill mortar(or high temperaturecement) in tightlyaround the take-off. Make sure thatthe starter section
fitssmoothly into the take-off before the mortar (high temperature cement) cures.
Ifdesired acover plate may be installedover theopening inlieu offilling with masonry. Attachthe coverplate with four tapcon
screwsor other suitable fasteners.
INSTALLING THE TOP PLATE, RAINCAP AND STORM
COLLAR:
Place the Top Plate on the top of the masonry chimney to
create a dead air space around the Saf-T Liner system. Trim
the Top Plate to 4” larger than the outside of the masonry
chimney. Usingtin snips,notch each corner 2”on a 45°angle
and fold each corner under 90 degrees (see Figure 24). Set
theTopPlateover theliner ontoa beadof siliconecaulk onthe
masonry chimney top. Do not attempt to secure the liner
with mortar or fasteners directly to the masonry chimney
top. There must be room for vertical expansion of the
Saf-T Liner due to the heating and cooling process during
normal use.
Install the Storm Collar directly below the expanded portion of
the Saf-T Liner section by tightening the clamp screw. The
Storm Collar will then rest on the Top Plate, supporting the
uppersections of the liner system. Slidethe RainCap intothe
female portion of the Saf-T Liner section and secure with the
fourself-drilling screws provided. (SeeFigs. 5 and25).

CHIMNEYMAINTENANCEINSTRUCTIONS:
Formationofcreosote andsootand thesubsequentneed forremovaloccurs whensolidfuel isburnedslowly,producingtarand
otherorganic vapors, whichcombine withexpelledmoisture toform creosote. The creosotevapors condenseinthe coolerflue
of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this can result in an
extremely hot and possibly damaging chimney fire.
Thechimney connectorandSaf-T Linershould beinspectedfrequently duringthe heatingseason and cleanedannually (more
often if necessary) by a professional, certified chimney sweep.
The chimney should be inspected at least every 6 to 8 weeks during the heating season and once prior to the season to
determine if (1) a creosote or soot buildup has occurred or (2) if some other mechanism has caused a failure of the liner
system. To inspect and/or clean the chimney, loosen the four Tek screws and remove the rain cap. If creosote or soot has
accumulated, have the chimney professionally cleaned to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Properlyinstalled and wellmaintained stovepipesand chimneys canusually withstandan occasional moderate chimney fire,
butthe intentional settingof a chimney fire to“burnout” the creosoteshould beavoided. This is adangerous method to clean
a chimney and can cause severe damage to chimneys, liners and possible damage to the structure of the house.
After any chimney fire always have the chimney system inspected by a knowledgeable and certified professional before any
furtheruse. The excessive heatduring a chimney fire cancrack chimney walls,and cause cracking, buckling, distortionand/
orburnout in chimneyliners. Achimney linerdamaged in sucha wayas to permitleakage offlue gases shouldbe repaired or
replaced. Sincethere isa greaterlikelihood thata subsequent chimneyfire couldspread beyondthe confinesof thedamaged
flue to the house itself. If no such damage is visible, the chimney system installed per these instructions is suited for further
use subject to the inspection schedule outlined above.
