Status Not open for further replies. Jan 3, 2. I've been asked to estimate the cost to line a chimney for venting a Franklin style stove 8 inch outlet in a tall, old victorian home in Columbus, OH. Typical of houses this old, there is only an 8x8 flue tile affixed to the crown, with an unlined "flue" below that measuring approx.

I hate installing liners in close quarters like this, especially since there is an offset involved. I just know I'll be sorry if I try to wedge an 8 inch stainless liner in there, not to mention the difficulty of ensuring that adequate amounts of poured-in insulation thermix, for example gets where it's supposed to go.

Downsizing the flue to a 7 in, or 7. I dislike franklin stoves anyway, but this customer seems determined to pursue the matter. So, if I get some responses to this post, I'll show them to my customer, hopefully discouraging her from pressing on with this installation- or, with enough reasoned ecouragment, from you folks, I'll gather my climbing gear and install a smaller diameter liner.

Nov 14, 6, madison hgts. I was going to say the same thing stoveguy. I had an old wood stove that probably would have worked fine. I was able to get a good deal in the used market, so proof positive that it's not impossible to find a good deal even in winter. I remember old stoves and how they ATE wood and having the new stove now makes me feel like I'm driving a Ferrari. It's night and day difference in technology. I would give the same advice to your customer as I received here GVA Minister of Fire.

If the stove was permitted and approved at some past time, then it is grandfathered and I supose one can install a liner. If no existing permit exist to prove code compliant installation, then you become party of a non compliant installation.

Something in a court of law ,you the professional, can not plead ignorant ,and should have know better. This being the case, it is not the position I would want to put myself in , should something happen with that stove One you could require them to have it inspected and approved prior to taking on the Job. All stoves and appliances have to be labled and listed.

One can not install an unlisted appliance nor should one be involved with any part of an installation of one. I feel the reason you posted here, was you had doubts and suspected exactly what I said.
