Protects your chimney and flue from weather, debris and animals while keeping exhaust flowing smoothly. Key benefits Reliable weather protection: umbrella-shaped stainless steel cap keeps rain, snow and leaves out of the chimney to prevent water damage and blockages. Keeps out pests and debris: blocks birds, rodents, dust and other contaminants that can enter and clog or damage the flue. Reduced maintenance and fire risk: prevents buildup of leaves and creosote catchment points; also reduces risk from wind-driven sparks. Durable, long-lasting construction: made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and extended outdoor service life. Easy, fast installation: secure base and tool-free assembly let you fit the cap quickly onto compatible pipes and flues. Features and compatibility Material: premium stainless steel — lightweight yet corrosion resistant for continuous outdoor use. Shape and function: umbrella-style design diverts water and debris while allowing exhaust to vent freely. Installation: fixed base with no tools required for most standard chimney and flue pipes. Intended use: designed for non-powered roofs and passive exhaust systems; compatible with outdoor wood, oil and mud/clay stoves and a wide range of chimney and flue pipes (vent pipes, smoke pipes, exhaust stacks). Performance and use cases Year-round protection: prevents accumulation of leaves, rain and snow and protects vents and pipes from wind damage and sparks throughout all seasons. Maintains safe exhaust: helps keep flue passages clear to ensure smooth discharge of smoke and combustion gases. Versatile applications: 1) Cabin wood stove: fits over a rural cabin chimney to keep birds and moisture out while maintaining smoke ventilation. 2) Outdoor oil heater or boiler: protects the flue on an outdoor heating unit from rain and debris that cause blockages. 3) Earthen or clay stove in a workshop or summer kitchen: prevents animals and leaves from entering the chimney and causing obstructions. What you get A stainless steel chimney cap with umbrella-shaped top and secure base for quick, tool-free installation. Ongoing protection against rain, snow, leaves, dust, animals, wind and flying sparks for chimneys and flue pipes used with wood, oil and mud/clay stoves. Installation tip Ensure the cap diameter matches your chimney or pipe size and that the base is seated securely to prevent movement in strong wind.
