UL-1777 Compliant Liner Installation for Safe Venting & Better Draft
DMV Chimney installs UL-1777 compliant stainless steel chimney liners designed to improve draft performance, reduce safety risks, and help prevent gas leakage from your venting system. A properly installed liner is essential for many furnace and water heater venting systems, and it plays a major role in keeping combustion gases vented safely out of your home. Whether you’re upgrading an older chimney, replacing a failed liner, or correcting venting issues, our team provides professional liner installation with proper sizing, insulation, and code-compliant workmanship.
Why Stainless Steel Chimney Liners Matter
A chimney liner protects your chimney structure and ensures the safe movement of smoke and combustion gases. Over time, older clay tile liners can crack, shift, or separate. Some systems may not have the proper liner size for modern appliances. These conditions can lead to draft problems, moisture damage, and dangerous gas leakage.
Stainless steel liners are designed to:
- Improve draft and venting efficiency
- Reduce the risk of carbon monoxide issues caused by poor draft
- Help prevent gases from leaking through damaged flue walls
- Protect masonry from heat and acidic condensation
- Extend the life of your chimney system
Essential for Furnace & Water Heater Venting Systems
Many homes rely on the chimney to vent:
- Gas furnaces
- Oil furnaces
- Gas water heaters
- Boilers
These appliances produce hot exhaust gases that must vent properly. If the flue is oversized, unlined, or deteriorated, gases can cool too quickly and create condensation that damages the chimney. A correctly sized stainless steel liner helps maintain proper temperature, improves draft, and supports safer operation.
Our Stainless Steel Liner Installation Process
Proper installation is more than just “dropping a liner.” Long-term performance depends on correct sizing, insulation, and secure terminations.
Our process includes:
1. Full Inspection & System Evaluation
We evaluate your flue structure, appliance connection, draft performance, and liner condition to determine the correct solution.
2. Professional Sizing
Correct sizing is critical for safe and efficient venting. We size the liner based on your appliance type and venting requirements so the system drafts properly.
3. Insulation for Performance & Durability
We install insulation when required to improve draft performance, reduce condensation, and support code compliance. Insulation helps protect the liner and chimney structure for long-term durability.
4. Secure Termination & Cap Installation
We complete the installation with proper top termination, storm collar (when applicable), and a secure chimney cap to protect the system from water intrusion and debris.
