Clay liner tiles are relatively inexpensive-about $10 for a typical 24â²-tall unit. But what you save on materials will most likely exceed the cost of installation labor. Clay flue liners are hard to retrofit in an existing chimney, especially if it isnât straight.lay liner tiles are relatively inexpensive-about $10 for a typical 24â²-tall unit.

Beaker tongs are best used to hold a hot beaker. Pick up hot glassware without heat protection and your skin will be injured. This is as true in the laboratory as it is in your kitchen. Lab tongs, part of a range of laboratory safety equipment, help you move hot ceramics and glassware safely.
Never carry a flask by its neck. Never carry a beaker by its side. Always use two hands carrying any glassware (position one hand under the glass for support). Appropriate glove should be worn whe there is a risk of breakage (e.g. inserting a glass rod), chemical contamination, or thermal hazard. When handling hot or cold glassware, always wear insulated gloves.
