Product Summary
The FAMCO Galvanized Wind Directional Chimney Cap is designed to be an effective solution to chimney downdraft in windy areas. The cap separates the wind stream as it flows over the cap, while the rotating hood is kept in proper position, relative to the wind, by the wind vane. Air movement past the hood creates a partial vacuum in the flue, enhancing draft efficiency and helping to prevent downdrafts. It is quality constructed from heavy-duty 26-gauge galvanized steel. It is recommended to use Loctite c5-a copper anti-seize on the rotating bracket and cleaning creosote buildup to ensure cap functions correctly and is able to rotate without issues, this should be done annually or else as needed.
The FAMCO Galvanized Wind Directional Chimney Cap is engineered to slip around the outside diameter of a single wall pipe. For double or triple wall pipe, the FAMCO Stainless Steel Chimney Cap Adapter recommended. This wind directional chimney cap comes in a range of diameters from 5 inch to 14 inch. It is manufactured in the United States and comes with a 1-year warranty against product defects and workmanship.
This model does not come with a built-in screen. It has a fixed base and will not include an adjustable draw bolt collar. We recommend securing these chimney caps with self-tapping screws (not included).

Low quality, especially for the price. Mine broke in less than 6 months. As soon as there is anything over a light breeze, the wind with bend in over the wrong way instead of turning it. The top part broke right off. I was also denied a refund. Will not be purchasing anything else from this site.

Hello Josiah, we appreciate you taking the time to share your product review and feedback. We are sorry to hear this product did not live up to your expectations. We were unable to get a warranty replacement approved with the manufacturer due to the length of time this product had been in use and for the inability to prove the cause of the failure. These chimney caps are made from high-quality 26 gauge galvanized steel and are designed to withstand even extreme weather conditions. We hope you will consider purchasing from us again in the future if the need arises.

Like the product but there was no email confirmation when I ordered it. I had to email to get a response. There were no status emails either. Most places do this and also give notifications when item is shipped so you can track your order. You need to add all of that.
