Do I Need an Oval Chimney Liner?
One of the most frequently asked questions, do I actually NEED an oval chimney liner? There are a few scenarios where the oval chimney liner is the best product to install. We explain a few scenarios below and also have a handy Chimney Liner Size Calculator for you to use.
Firstly, the oval chimney liner can be a lifesaver in tight installations that don't have enough room for the properly sized round chimney liner. For example, if you have a furnace that requires an 8" chimney liner, but your current inside flue tile measures 7 3/4" x 10 3/4", you may need to choose a properly sized oval chimney liner.
Secondly, if you have a wood stove and need to insulate the chimney liner, but not enough room in your current flue, an oval chimney liner may be a good solution. For example, you need a 6" chimney liner with insulation and the O.D. will be ~7 3/4". If the current flue I.D. measures 7 3/4" x 10 3/4", that is too tight for a round liner.
Lastly, you may also consider breaking out the clay tiles to install the properly sized chimney liner (round or oval) with insulation. We have a rental tile breaking tool available here.
Please contact us to go over your installation & we'll help you figure out the best option!
Note: Oval chimney liners and components are custom made to your specifications, and are not refundable. Even if your chimney flue is not round, in some circumstances a round liner will better meet your needs. Round liners are more cost-effective and easier to install. Please call us if you have any questions in regards to your installation!

Measuring for your stainless steel oval chimney liner is one of the most important steps. Specifically, measure the exact inside measurements of the chimney flue or brick chimney, this will ensure the chimney liner will fit down your masonry flue.
Be sure the proper size liner, sized to the appliance you are connecting to, will fit down your current masonry chimney.
