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 bum 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.

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.

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.

The liner length is determined by measuring from the lowest thimble(if more than one)to the top of the chimney.Add approximately Six(6)inches to attach the crown and top hardware.Cut the liner to the desired length. • If a liner is not long enough a coupler may be used to join two pieces of liner.Attach the Coupler to the liner with the affixed band,or stainless steel screws(Male end down when applicable). • Attach the Tee Body to the liner with the affixed band,or stainless steel screws.If the liner needs to be insulated with a ceramic wool blanket,install the blanket at this point. Attach the Tee Cap to the Tee Body at this point. • Expand the draw band on the Tee Snout completely,slide the Tee Snout into the thimble with the draw band centered in the flue.Lower the liner M55 Cast FPI Dimensions ... j P .
