- Double or Triple Wall Chimneys: Designed specifically for air-cooled systems (collar included).
- Superior Protection: Keeps out rain, snow, animals, and debris.
- Optional Mesh Screen: Add the 1” stainless steel bird guard to block debris, contain sparks, and prevent animal entry. This screen will never rust, ensuring long-term performance.
- Optional Tie-Down Kit: For high-wind areas, secure your cap with our easy-to-install kit. Includes stainless steel straps, screws, and hex nuts.
- Custom Sizes: Available in sizes up to 48” to suit unique chimney dimensions. Contact us for pricing and details.
