Chimney Cap Adapters
Essential Components for Proper Chimney Cap Installation
Chimney cap adapters help to properly fit a chimney cap when the size or shape of the chimney pipe does not align with the standard cap designs. FAMCO manufactures two distinct types of chimney cap adapters: the Tile Cap Adapter (ATA) and the Wind Cap Adapter (WCA).Â

FAMCO Chimney Cap Adapters Benefits
Residential Use:
Essential for improving draft efficiency and preventing downdrafts.
Commercial Use:
The masonry to metal chimney transition is designed for use with masonry and tile chimneys that require a transition from a square flue to a round chimney cap.
Wind Cap Adapter:
Designed to fit the same inside diameter 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.
Masonry to Metal Chimney Transition (Galvanized):
Constructed from durable 28-gauge galvanized steel with a mill finish, this adapter ensures a secure and reliable transition.
Masonry to Metal Chimney Transition (Stainless Steel):
Made from heavy-duty 26-gauge stainless steel, this adapter ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to corrosion.
Proper Placement:
Install chimney cap adapters so that the chimney flue remains protected from debris and adverse weather conditions. The Tile Cap Adapter (ATA) fits over the masonry or tile chimney and is secured with a draw bolt collar, making installation quick and easy. The Wind Cap Adapter (WCA) slides inside the double or triple-wall pipe and features an oversized storm collar, which helps protect the chimney pipe from the elements.
Cap Selection:
Choose adapters based on the type of flue, climate, and specific ventilation needs.Â
Professional Installation:
While some adapters may be installed by a homeowner, professional installation is recommended for complex systems or areas with challenging access.
