The BEST-Flex lining system is designed and UL listed to be installed inside masonry chimneys.BEST-Flex liners are used to vent the gases and by-products produced by appliances that burn oil,gas,or solid fuels. All appliances require certain venting specifications and the liner is not to be sized less than specified in the appliance manufacturer's instructions.For the best operation refer to the appliance manufacturer's instructions to determine any special necessities for that specific appliance. The installer must contact the local building and fire code officials for a variety of reasons: • The installation may require special inspection requirements. • Building permits may be required before installation. • Compliance with local building codes.(Authorities with local jurisdiction such as Inspectors,Municiple Building Departments,Fire Departments,and Fire Bureau's have precedence over national codes). For proper results and operation use only materials or components specified in these installation instructions. Using parts or materials not specified may result in undesireable effects. The lining system safety,code compliance,warranty and performance may be compromised if the installation instructions are not followed BEST-Flex Stainless Steel Chimney Liners are tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories. • In the United States they are tested to UL 1777 and can be installed in NEW&EXISTING masonry chimneys. • In Canada they are tested to ULC S635 and are to be installed in EXISTING masonry chimneys. PRODUCT INFORMATION FOR BEST-Flex CHIMNEY LINERS • BEST-Wrap and a protective aluminum sleeve has already been assembled around the liner • BEST-Wrap is one half inch(1/2")thick,eight pound density,ceramic wool blanket with a three mil aluminum foil face. • Best-Flex Pre-insulated Liners are created from a variety of New England Supply's Liners;Including Best Flex Lightwall,Elite Series,Heavywall,& Smoothwall liners. • The BEST-Flex Pre-Insulated Stainless Steel Flexible Chimney liner is designed to reline existing chimneys or to be used as a liner in new construction. Manufactured with the highest quality,mill certified alloy.BEST-Flex Stainless Steel Flexible Chimney Liner has a high acid fighting capability. Listed by UL Laboratories to UL 1777&ULC S635 standards for zero clearance installation.BEST-Flex can be used to vent wood,wood pellet,coal,non-condensing gas and oil,making it the choice for venting all standard efficiency installations.UL listed BEST-Flex is available in 3"to 12"diameters(13"above is not listed)to cover a wide range of requirements found in the field today. • The unique manufacturing systems used to make BEST-Flex utilizes a continuous strip of stainless steel,interlocked to produce a gas and water tight lining system of superior strength and durability.BEST-Flex can be curved to go around offsets in chimneys and can fit most any installation requirement.Unless specified by the manufacturer,the liner is not to be field ovalized. The corrugated construction allows for expansion& contraction during the heat-up&cool-down periods,which removes any stresses on the system. • BEST-Flex Pre-Insulated Liner is already insulated with a foil-faced ceramic wool blanket&protective shell that meets UL 1777&ULC S635 standards for chimney exteriors with zero clearance to combustibles. • BEST-Flex Stainless Steel Chimney Liner comes with a Lifetime Warranty for all fuels,with appliance efficiencies at 83 percent or lower. • BEST-flex Pre-Insulated Stainless Steel Liners DO NOT need any additional insulation to meet the zero clearance inside&outside the masonry mass.

If the chimney is constructed on the outside of the structure,1-in of unobstructed air space must be maintained between the chimney mass and all other combustible materials. • When the chimney breaks the plane of a floor,ceiling,or other horizontal or vertical structure,fire stops of a non-combustible material must be used. • The installer must verify the above with all local&national codes as required. • If the correct clearances cannot be verified due to regional factors the liner must be installed with a UL listed insulation material. • Any appliance that burns a liquid fuel cannot be attached to a chimney liner made to vent a solid fuel burning appliance. • The connection pipe between the appliance and the chimney liner must have proper clearances to combustibles. This can be determined by the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions,the national building code,the local building code,or whichever factor takes precedence. • The chimney must be cleaned comprehensively to remove all deposits of soot,creosote,or glazed creosote before any liner is installed.A full inspection must be done to determine if the chimney is structurally sound.If the existing system is found not to be in compliance with applicable building code and/or manufacturers installation instructions,the liner shall not be installed until appropriate steps have been taken in order to bring the chimney or vent into compliance with the applicable code and/or manufacturer's instructions. Note:Installing a lining system into an existing chimney or vent does not,in any way,upgrade the resulting relined system and make it suitable for any applications that require a vent or chimney of a higher temperature handling capability,an alternative fuel,or any other more sever service than the original chimney or vent in which it is installed. 2.)GENERAL INSULATING REQUIREMENTS AND THE BEST- CHIMNEY CONNECTORS AND VENT CONNECTORS Flex PRE-INSULATED STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER Not all situations require the insulation of the chimney liner.The UL 1777 wkwwxnmwer.ymwnn wewmendwm - System A.rMnimum 35 in.(90 mm1 thickbdce masonry wait framed into b.... •-• 2 e(51 nm1 combusteee we l n0'h a mermen 0112 h.(305 men)trim separation &ULC S635 Standard for installing stainless steel chimney liners requires .1i: ;17n d~) from day 200r'ecombushwes.Fmday liner(ASTMC315. lr12 in.13p5mm) cad* minimStandum Specdih mn,l,a Clay Flue Liners and Chaney Pots,wrier.oquivalern). insulation because the non code conforming chimney has zero clearance Iotbnck l:m fl6 mmbe on.th inner surf mitace lrpnoulm w '� of bock nail W,but not Dvy0nd,the inner sudaca d Chimrlay Iwo to combustibles or some other defect.Therefore the UL 1777&ULC S635 i _ nor and shall to mmhy cemented In place Standard is in place for fire protection.In the United States the definition of 1.- II ` •'. . •• r Clearance:12 in.1305 ere a code conforming chimney is one that meets or exceeds the N.F.P.A.211 —Atnmum1zN j mml ': 1 mromwei2In ,y dummy•:f standard for construction of chimneys.This standard includes;proper strarte010 NON 211 clearances to combustibles,intact 5/8 fireday flue liner or equivalent, . minimum four inch(nominal)solid chimney wall.If the chimney meets all ...,mimney rleamnse from System e.sma.insuated listedlacrnry-burn chimney lengmdthe same meeprcy to sheet sleet euppan sod hbnxmwn inside diameter as the Chi g the requirements for a code conformingstructure the onlyreason to reline wrdmeewes2in(51mm1 (L mneyooanannonr9,n. 1a. q (25 mm)or more of insulation with a minimum 9 in.(229 nun) 9 in;229 nun it would be for proper sizing and appliance performance.In the case of ir dor.bie Nwad oB a„space boMeen he outer walotttechm reylengh end �relining gas or oil fired appliances no insulation is required(recommended nmey lerop ) go onnLC1or The inner end of the chimney length shall be flush wllhthe inside of the masonry Chimney!lie and shall be sealed to the(Pe for high efficiency).Regardless of existing chimney conformance,insulating 1) kph and to the brick masonry penetration withnon-waler.eduble or tiro fla um Penney renadory cement.Supports shall be securely Wslened to wall the chimney liner will improve the performance of the appliance that is — m+spansto surfaces on all sides I, ptlpyleY Fasteners between supports and the chimney length shall rut connected to it.The insulated liner will stay warmer and the flue will not cool omml ten.
