Installation Methods of Our Caps
Important Installation Note
-For secure installation, the chimney cap must be anchored into the solid brick or masonry structure, not only into the mortar or cement layer.
-Please consult your installer and always have the chimney cap installed by a qualified professional to ensure proper and secure mounting.
-For chimney caps with a flat base or decorative bottom trim, we recommend making sure the top of the chimney is properly leveled before installation for the best fit and finished appearance.
The chimney cap covers the top of the chimney and is fastened through the side flanges. Screws/anchors are inserted horizontally into the sides of the chimney for a secure fit.
The chimney cap is secured by attaching the top flange directly to the chimney. Screws are driven down into the chimney structure to hold the cap firmly in place.
