Dropped the new Armor Flex liner into the chimney this weekend. Very impressed with how beefy this liner feels. I ran into a little problem with the top termination.
I have a terra cotta tile that sticks up on top of the chimney one inch. I installed the top plate and tried to tighten the support clamp to secure the liner but the top plate metal is too strong to tighten against the liner.
I think I can remedy this by adding a couple of small angle irons that rest between the top plate and support clamp. This will keep the clamp a little higher and be able to clamp/support the liner.
Do you guys have any other work around ideas?
