New England Supply PRODUCTS
STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINERS
BEST-Flex Models"L","H","S",&"E"Stainless Steel Chimney Liners are manufactured by New England Supply Inc.Located in Williston,VT.
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
• The BEST-Flex 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,7-ply interlocked and crimped 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 be factory
ovalized to custom sizes to 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 can be insulated with either a vermiculite based poured insulation or with a foil-faced ceramic wool blanket to meet UL 1777&ULC S635
standards for chimney exteriors with zero clearance to combustibles.
• BEST-Flex Stainless Steel Chimney Liner comes with a Life Time Warranty for all fuels,with appliance efficiencies at 83 percent or lower.

1.)CHIMNEY PREPARATION&INITIAL INSPECTION
Before any liner can be installed the existing chimney must meet proper construction and code requirements:
• The chimney must be between 10-ft high(min)and 100-ft(max)in height.
• The chimney must have a wall thickness of 4-inch min(nominal)solid masonry unit.
• The chimney must project at least 3-ft over the point of roof penetration,and at least 2-ft higher than any point of any structure within a 10-ft radius.
• If the mass of the chimney is constructed within the structure a 2-in minimum,unobstructed air space,must surround the chimney mass to any
combustible material.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 at 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. CHIMNEY CONNECTORS AND VENT CONNEcwIms

4.)INSTALLING THE BEST-FLEX STAINLESS STEEL CHIMNEY LINER
• Thimbles must be in the proper location to maintain the required clearance to combustibles from the connector pipe to the appliance. 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
