Caps for factory-built fireplaces

Is your fireplace a metal unit with a metal chimney pipe running up a framed chase? Its cap has to be the one listed for that system, since the maker tested the fireplace, chimney and cap together.

Our specialists find the cap your model calls for from the rating plate and fit it the way the manual shows. A generic cap from another brand can change how the unit drafts and break the listing. If the chase cover under the cap is rusting, you'll get a separate price for that too. Check with a local pro about the cap for your factory-built fireplace in East Bronson by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Standard caps do the job inland

Standard-line caps from the maker hold up well on homes in East Bronson. Salt isn't in the picture, so a marine-grade upgrade isn't needed.

What wears caps out here is water sitting on flat lids and in clogged screens. Our pros choose lid shapes that shed water and debris, which keeps the metal drier and longer-lived.

How the lid keeps rain out

Rain doesn't only fall straight down. Wind drives it sideways, and a lid that barely covers the flue lets it blow in under the edge. The lid's overhang and its height above the flue both change how much rain gets past.

A lid set too low, on the other hand, can crowd the smoke and hurt the draft. Our specialists choose a cap whose lid covers the flue with a margin and sits high enough for smoke to leave freely. On an outside-mount cap, the lid also shelters the crown, which keeps water off the concrete and the brick below it.

How far the tile should stand above the crown

The flue tile should stand a little above the crown, so water running off the crown doesn't flow into the flue. The Brick Industry Association recommends the liner extend at least 2 inches above the crown.

A tile trimmed level with the concrete, or one that's broken off at the top, leaves nothing for a single-flue cap to clamp to and lets water in at the joint. Our pros check the height before recommending a cap. A short tile can take an outside-mount cap anchored into the crown or the brick instead, and you'll hear which suits your chimney. The measurement goes on your quote.

What a downdraft cap can and can't fix

Wind-directional caps turn their opening away from the wind, and taller caps lift the flue outlet above swirling air. On a chimney that smokes only in certain winds, either can help.

No cap fixes a flue too small for the fireplace, a chimney that falls short of the rooflines near it, or a house pulling air in through the chimney. Our specialists rule those out before recommending a downdraft cap, so you don't pay for a fix aimed at the wrong cause. If a cap won't solve it, you'll hear what would. In some cases, a cap and a small change inside the house together solve it, and that combination is priced as well.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

Will a cap stop my fireplace from smoking?

It can when wind is pushing down the flue or rain is soaking it. It won't fix a flue too small for the fireplace or a house pulling air in through the chimney. Our specialists find the cause first, then tell you if a cap is the answer.

What if something is living in the chimney?

Before any cap goes on, the flue gets checked, so nothing gets trapped inside. If an animal or nest is found, our animal removal specialists handle it first, then the cap is fitted to keep the flue clear.
