This Shelter stainless steel chimney cap is engineered for chimneys burning oil, coal, or wood, and is especially suited for applications within 25 miles of a saltwater coast. The outside mounting design maximizes free air space to maintain uninhibited chimney draft, while the durable stainless steel construction withstands harsh weather and coastal environments.
The cap fits square flue tile openings ranging from 11.5 x 11.5 inches to 13.5 x 13.5 inches, making it compatible with a range of standard masonry chimney dimensions. Its inward-turned expanded metal mesh base rests firmly on the flue tile, closing gaps to keep out wildlife and debris. Installation is straightforward with basic tools, and an optional leg kit is available for situations where the masonry flue tile does not extend above the chimney crown.
