Chimney Liners

The chimney liner contains and vents all the gases, smoke, and byproducts created by the attached fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove, or furnace. Having a quality, properly sized, and damage-free liner is essential to safely enjoying a fire in your home. Gilmartin Chimney and Vent provides Ventinox® stainless steel liners for chimneys. Stainless steel liners are stainless steel sleeves that run all the way from the appliance or fireplace to the top of the chimney. By connecting to the fireplace, stove, or furnace, these liners ensure that all smoke and gases produced by the fire remain contained and properly exit the chimney.

Ventinox®: Welded, Stainless Steel Relining for Masonry Chimney

Ventinox® components are made from either 316SS (VFT) or superferritic stainless steel (VG). Components feature an integral locking band, avoiding the use of pop rivets. Liners and components provide a penetration-free top to bottom connection.

Ventinox VFT

Ventinox VFT, made from 316Ti stainless steel, can withstand high temperatures associated with solid fuel fired heaters, as well as the corrosive environments typical in gas or oil vents. Tested and listed for all-fuel, and can also be used for wood, gas, or oil-fired equipment. When venting solid fuel heaters, Ventinox VFT must be insulated with either TherMix or ProFoil blankets to meet UL 1777 requirements.

Ventinox VG

Ventinox VG is the ultimate choice for venting gas fired appliances, where highly corrosive condensate formation (hydrochloric acid) within the flue is likely. The super-ferritic AL29-4C stainless steel alloy exhibits extreme resistance to chloride pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion and cracking. Insulation is highly recommended for increased efficiency and draft performance.
