Know before you buy
304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for the harsh, moisture-heavy environment of a chimney. It ensures your cap remains structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for years, backed by a lifetime guarantee.
The 3/4" mesh is designed to keep birds, squirrels, and other debris out of your chimney flue while still allowing smoke and gases to exit freely. It also acts as a spark arrestor to prevent embers from escaping onto your roof.
Baffles are recommended if you are experiencing 'smoke over,' where smoke from one flue is being pulled into an adjacent, inactive flue. They help direct smoke upward and out of the cap, ensuring each flue operates independently and efficiently.
The lid of this cap is secured by studs and wingnuts, which allows for quick and easy removal. You can detach the lid whenever you need to perform routine chimney sweeping or maintenance without removing the entire base.
Installation is straightforward and designed for the DIYer. The kit includes tapcons and silicone adhesive, and the anchoring flange is adaptable, allowing you to secure the cap to any side of your chimney crown for a precise fit.
You should measure the outside dimensions of your chimney flue tiles. Choose a model where the base dimensions accommodate your flue layout, keeping in mind that the lid size will be larger to provide adequate coverage and rain protection.
