With such an expansive selection of pipes and liners for your chimney, it can be difficult to know which chimney liner or pipe to install in your chimney. A basic chimney pipe is generally designed to vent the byproducts of natural, solid fuel, like wood, oil and coal (and in some cases, gas). A Class A chimney pipe is the most common and it is ideal for high temperature situations.
Other chimney pipes available tend to have more specific applications. For instance, some people may choose to opt for a Class B chimney pipe. Although less effective in ventilation than a Class A pipe, Class B chimney products use the air in the form to aid combustion. This means they require less space and cost less than some other pipes. They are also relatively easy to install if you consider yourself a handyman.
The third option is a direct vent pipe, which uses fresh air from outside to aid combustion. It is very efficient and an ideal choice for airtight homes. The rest of the pipes apply to a specific type of fuel burned. A stove pipe is used to connect a freestanding wood stove or fireplace to a chimney to provide ventilation. A gas vent pipe vents appliances that burn gas, and a pellet vent pipe is ideal for a corn or pellet stove.
Chimney liners are crucial for the safe functioning of a fireplace, whether for a masonry chimney or a device that is vented through the chimney. Installing the optimal chimney liner in a damaged or unsafe chimney is not a step that can be overlooked.
