Chimney stainless steel cap
There are many types of chimney caps. They are used to avoid pests, debris and dirt from infiltrating into the chimney.
Screw tightening
If you are using a single-flue chimney cap, you just have to put it into place and, using a screwdriver, properly fasten it.
Securing caps on tile flues
To properly secure a chimney cap into place, you can use screw or nuts and cap sealant. For the inside of the caps, use a silicone based sealer.
Securing caps on metal flues
You must use a heat resistant sealant when working with caps and a metal flue, because metal heats up more rapidly and can melt the adhesive. A thick layer of sealant must be applied to the surrounding area of the cap using a caulking gun. For the best results, after applying the sealant press on the cap and smooth any extra sealant to stop it from oozing later.
