Figures from Logan Clay's flue liner chart. Logan doesn't list a 15" round, so ask inside sales for its pallet count. Fired clay varies, so sizes are approximate.
Sold by the pallet
Flue lining ships from Monroe by the full pallet, not by the piece. Pallets of the larger sizes run past 3,000 lb, and your forklift unloads them at your yard or job. Ask inside sales about putting more than one size on an order.
What is the difference between standard and modular flue?
Rectangular flue comes in two families. Standard (nonmodular) sizes run on 8.5", 13" and 18" dimensions: 8.5" x 8.5", 8.5" x 13", 13" x 18" and so on. Modular sizes are nominal 8", 12", 16", 20" and 24" dimensions, built to fit modular brick coursing, so a 12" x 16" modular measures about 11 1/2" x 15 1/2" outside. On our list, modular means the 8" x 8" and 12" x 12"; every larger size is in our standard group. Check which family the plans call for before you order.
Chimney thimbles
A clay thimble is the round sleeve that runs through the chimney wall so a stove or appliance connector can join the flue. It fits into a hole cut in the square or rectangular flue and should sit flush with the flue's inside wall, not project into it. Thimble diameter is matched to the connector: in Sandkuhl's chart a 6" thimble pairs with 8" x 8" and 8.5" x 8.5" flue, and an 8" thimble with 8" x 12", 8.5" x 13" and 13" x 13".
Setting flue and what to order with it
- Heat Stop lists ASTM C-315 and ASTM C-1283 as the specs building codes call for on clay flue lining.
- Set flue joints in refractory mortar meeting ASTM C-199; Heat Stop 50 is rated for flue lining inside or outside.
- Finish the stack with a chimney cap: stainless 8"x8" to 13"x17", stainless painted 9"x9" to 18"x18", or galvanized painted 8"x8" to 18"x18".
- Vestal cast iron cleanout doors and Lyemance dampers are stocked for the same chimneys.

What mortar is used for clay flue liner?
A refractory mortar meeting ASTM C-199. Heat Stop recommends Heat Stop 50 or Heat Stop II for clay flue lining, because they are not water soluble in service after the initial set. The premixed Heat Stop is interior-only and not suited to flue. Yankocy stocks Heat Stop 50 in 50 lb bags.
