and trim the blanket so that the flex end rings

are exposed. Wrap the insulation around the

liner lengthwise and trim it so that a butt joint

is formed. Seal the joint with aluminum foil

tape. Spray adhesive may be used to hold the

blanket in place until it can be secured with

the foil tape. A minimum of 1/2" of insulation is

required. Install ProMesh protective wire mesh

over the blanket(s). The ProMesh is used to

protect the ProFoil insulation as the liner is

lowered into the chimney. Slip the ProMesh

over the insulated liner and secure one end

with a stainless steel band clamp. Pull the

ProMesh towards the other end of the liner so

that it tightens snugly around the insulation,

then trim off the excess. Secure this end with a

stainless steel band clamp or alum tape.
