Chimney Caps
The Ultimate Protection for Stoves and Fireplaces
Chimney caps, also known as chimney covers or cowls, are essential components for ensuring the proper functioning and protection of a chimney. Designed to cover the chimney flue, chimney caps prevent downdrafts, protect the interior from precipitation, and promote efficient ventilation for stoves or fireplaces.Â

Technical Information
FAMCO Chimney Caps Benefits



Residential Use:
Essential for using wood, coal, gas, and oil burning stoves and fireplaces to maintain safe and efficient operation.Â
Commercial Use:
Some chimney caps are designed to fit rectangular, square, or round chimney flues, with some designs meant to help prevent downdrafts by creating a partial vacuum.
Galvanized Cone Top Chimney Cap with Screen:
Designed as an all-weather, seamless cap, it prevents rain and snow from entering the chimney pipe. It mounts over a single-wall pipe and features a fixed base band with a built-in ¼-inch screen.Â
Galvanized Wind Directional Chimney Cap:
Its design separates the wind stream as it flows over the cap, while the rotating hood remains properly positioned relative to the wind, guided by the wind vane. This movement creates a partial vacuum in the flue, improving draft efficiency and reducing downdrafts.
Wind Cap Adapter:
Designed to fit the same pipe size as the cap, it connects seamlessly. The adapter fits inside an insulated, double, or triple-wall pipe, with an oversized collar that shields the outer walls for a secure fit.
Proper Placement:
Install chimney caps so that the chimney flue remains protected from debris and adverse weather conditions.
Cap Selection:
Choose caps based on climate and specific ventilation needs.Â
Professional Installation:
While some caps may be installed by a homeowner, professional installation is recommended for complex systems or areas with challenging access.
Frequently Asked Questions
A chimney cap protects the chimney flue while ensuring proper ventilation for stoves and fireplaces. It helps to prevent unwanted elements such as rain, snow, leaves, and small animals (like birds, squirrels, and bats) from entering the chimney, which could cause blockages, damage, or even pose a fire hazard. They help prevent downdrafts and improve the efficiency of the chimney’s airflow.
Choosing the right chimney cap depends on a few key factors, including the material, flue size, and functionality. Stainless steel is the most popular due to its durability and corrosion resistance, but copper, galvanized steel, and aluminum are also viable options depending on your preferences and environmental factors. In addition, confirm that the chimney cap matches the size and shape of the chimney flue.Â
