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).

Q & A
The FAMCO Wind Directional Chimney Cap is safe to use on a gas fireplace.
Bryan L. answered on May 24, 2022 store managerThe FAMCO Wind Directional Chimney Cap was not designed for that use, but we have Off-Ridge vents here that would for your intended application.
Bryan L. answered on June 7, 2022 store managerYes, the Wind Directional Chimney Cap measures exactly 5", we have a Wind Cap Adapter available to fit it to double and triple wall pipes.
answered on February 21, 2022 store managerThe Wind Directional Chimney Cap has a rotating hood that turns along with the winds direction. This would help solve that issue by blocking the wind and preventing smoke from coming back through the chimney.
