High Wind Air Cooled Chimney Cap

Built to Beat the Worst Weather on Your Roof

Upgrade your chimney’s protection with the Chimcare High Wind Air-Cooled Chimney Cap – engineered for homes in open, exposed, and storm-prone locations. The tall high-wind hood redirects gusts up and over the flue instead of letting them plunge back down, eliminating the downdrafts that push smoke into your living room.

Hurricane-tested to withstand 70+ mph winds, this cap stays put when everything else on your roof is flapping. Premium 304 stainless steel, TIG-welded in our USA facility, and custom-built to fit your exact inner pipe diameter.

Performance Benefits: Prevents wind from going down the chimney flue. Eliminates cold and unwanted downdrafts. Blocks rain from entering the chimney flue. Maintains proper ventilation for air-cooled systems. Provides superior protection in high-wind areas.

Q: What kinds of wind conditions is this cap rated for?
This high-wind, air-cooled cap is engineered in premium stainless steel and built to withstand hurricane-level gusts, ensuring stability and draft protection even during severe storms.

One Cap That Outlasts Your Roof

The bargain cap on the left is what most homeowners end up replacing every other winter – flimsy 24-gauge steel, spot welds, and rust bleeding down the flue within a couple of seasons.

The Chimcare High Wind Air-Cooled cap on the right is TIG-welded 304 stainless steel, built in our USA facility, and engineered to outlast your roof. You can keep buying imports over and over, or you can buy one Chimcare cap and be done.

Construction Details: Premium stainless steel construction. Custom manufactured for each order. Designed specifically for air-cooled chimney systems. Engineered for high wind resistance.

Materials Matter. We Picked the Best.

Chimcare builds every High Wind Air-Cooled cap from 304-grade stainless steel – the same alloy used on marine rails and commercial kitchens. It resists rust, salt air, creosote, and UV for decades, not seasons.

The cheap stainless caps flooding the market are usually 430-grade, which pits and stains within two winters. And galvanized steel? The zinc coating burns off and the steel underneath rusts through. When you buy Chimcare, you are buying the material that actually lives up to the name.

Product Features: Made in the USA. Stainless steel high-quality chimney cap. Built to withstand very high wind conditions. Slips inside the interior pipe – measure the inside dimension before ordering. Designed exclusively for air-cooled chimneys.

Q: How does the airflow mechanism work?
Featuring a dual-wall design, it maintains an air gap between the inner and outer pipes for cooling, while the hood deflects crosswinds upward, ensuring a steady updraft and no downdrafts.

Find Your Fit in Under a Minute

Measure the inside diameter of your inner flue pipe and match it to one of our five sizes: 5″, 6″, 8″, 10″, or 12″. These cover virtually every residential Class A and factory-built air-cooled metal chimney on the market.

The 8″ is our fits-all size and covers the most common fireplace installations. If you are between sizes, round up.

5 Inch – $450.00.
6 Inch – $520.00.

Q: What sizes are available?

Installs in Minutes

Installation is stupidly simple.
Step 1 – Measure the inside diameter of your inner flue pipe.
Step 2 – Select the matching Chimcare size (5″, 6″, 8″, 10″, or 12″).
Step 3 – Insert the cap; it slips inside the interior pipe and tightens with the built-in set screws.

No drilling, no sealant, no adapters. Most homeowners are done in under five minutes – and because the cap seats inside the inner pipe, the air-cooled clearances on your Class A chimney stay exactly where the manufacturer intended.

Installation Requirements: Measure the inside dimension of the chimney pipe for proper fit. Compatible with air-cooled chimney systems only. Cap slips inside the interior pipe for secure installation. Professional installation recommended.

Q: Is professional installation necessary?
While it is designed to slip snugly inside the inner pipe, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sizing and secure placement – especially for maintaining the air gap.
