Round Clay Flue Liners

Question:  Why are square and rectangular flue liners used for masonry chimneys instead of rounds? Answer:  Because that is the way it has always been done. From a design and engineering standpoint a square/rectangular flue liner doesn’t make a lot of sense.  A round flue is 20% more efficient than the traditional square or rectangular liners.  That is why when sizing a chimney for a fireplace, the calculation is based on 8% of fireplace face opening if using a round flue vs. 10% for the square/rectangular ones. The round flue has a clean and efficient draw.  The squares and rectangles have cold corners with eddy currents that inhibit draw. Perhaps the real reason for using a square or rectangle is that it is a “no-brainer” to stack brick around!  Click here for more information on Sandkuhl Round Flues.
