What feature is critical in the installation of a flue liner?

It must be color-coded
It must be surrounded by insulation
It must have a waterproof coating
It must be free of damage

The correct answer is: It must be free of damage

The correct answer highlights the importance of ensuring that the flue liner is free of damage prior to installation. A flue liner is essential for directing combustion gases away from the home and protecting the structural integrity of chimneys. If the liner is damaged, it may cause improper venting, leading to dangerous situations like carbon monoxide buildup or increased risk of chimney fires. While features such as insulation and waterproof coatings may be relevant to other aspects of chimney or flue functionality, they are not as critical to the immediate safety concerns addressed by the condition of the flue liner itself. A damaged liner compromises the entire chimney system, making it less effective or even hazardous, reinforcing why maintaining the integrity of the liner is imperative for safe operation.
