Fireplace Chimney Caps
Maximize Efficiency with Fireplace Chimney Caps
Fireplace chimney caps are key components in a home’s chimney system, ensuring safety and efficiency. Installed at the top of the chimney, these caps function as protective covers that prevent rain, snow, debris, and animals from entering the flue. By regulating airflow and preventing downdrafts, chimney caps also help maintain optimal draft, which improves the performance of fireplaces.Â
FAMCO fireplace chimney caps are available in various materials like galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and high-density plastics. We offer multiple styles to suit both residential and commercial ventilation needs.

Technical Information
FAMCO Fireplace Chimney Caps Benefits
Fireplace chimney caps are versatile and can be used in various types of chimneys, including masonry, gas, and zero-clearance units. In wood-burning fireplaces, the chimney cap helps maintain a steady draft, ensuring that smoke and gases are safely directed outside. For gas fireplaces, a chimney cap can help prevent downdrafts and improves the efficiency of venting, which is essential for maintaining air quality inside the home.Â
Zero-clearance fireplaces, typically found in smaller spaces, also benefit from a chimney cap by enhancing ventilation and ensuring that the heating system functions effectively. FAMCO offers diverse chimney caps in different materials, including stainless steel, copper, and galvanized steel, making it easy to find one that fits your needs.
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
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.
Round Base Chimney Vacuum Cap:
Enhances updraft and prevents downdrafts by forcing wind to alter its direction over one of four gores, creating a partial vacuum. Designed for single-wall pipe installation, it features a draw bolt collar for a secure fit.
Proper Placement:
Install chimney caps so that the chimney crown remains protected from debris and adverse weather conditions.
Cap Selection:
Choose caps based on climate and specific ventilation needs. For masonry chimneys, the chimney cap may require additional adapters to transition from the flue to the cap.Â
Professional Installation:
While some caps may be installed by a homeowner, professional installation is recommended for complex systems or areas with challenging access.
