Chimcare High Wind Non-Air Cooled Chimney Cap - Wind Tested 70+ MPH - Where the Wind Gives Up

Where the Wind Gives Up First

Most caps flinch at the first real gust. The Chimcare High Wind Non-Air Cooled Chimney Cap does not. Built specifically for solid-pack and single-wall chimney pipe, this cap stands its ground against 70+ mph winds thanks to a tall high-wind hood, a reinforced stainless base, and built-in standoff fins that lock it onto your pipe without play. If you live on a coast, a hilltop, or any rooftop that actually sees weather, this is the cap you want between your flue and the storm.

Wind-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 solid pack systems. Provides superior protection in high-wind areas.

Q: What kinds of wind conditions is this cap rated for?
This high-wind, non-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.


Import chimney cap rusted after 2 years vs Chimcare lifetime 304 stainless steel TIG-welded cap - Same Job Different Lifespan

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, rust bleeding down the flue, and a finish that stains the brick below it within a single season. The Chimcare High Wind Non-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 non air cooled (solid pack) chimney systems. Engineered for high wind resistance.


304 Stainless Steel 25+ years lifetime vs 430 Stainless 2 years vs Galvanized steel - Not All Stainless Is Stainless

Materials Matter. We Picked the Best.

Chimcare builds every High Wind Non-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
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • Stainless Steel High Quality Non Air Cooled / Solid Pack Chimney Cap
  • Built to withstand very high wind conditions
  • Slips inside the interior pipe – measure the inside dimension before ordering
  • Designed exclusively for Non Air Cooled / Solid Pack Chimneys Only


Chimcare Non-Air Cooled cap with standoff base, built-in standoff fins, air-gap design, thermal safe - Engineered for Solid-Pack and Single-Wall Pipe

No Air Gap in Your Chimney? No Problem.

Here is where Chimcare solves the problem most cap manufacturers ignore. If your chimney is solid-pack or single-wall pipe, a standard high-wind cap clamps directly onto hot metal – and that is a thermal code issue waiting to happen. Our cap is engineered differently. Built-in standoff fins create a thermal-safe air gap between the cap body and your pipe, so the hood can shed wind and weather while keeping heat off the surrounding structure. It is the same wind-beating performance as our air-cooled line, engineered specifically for pipes that were never designed for it.


Five sizes of Chimcare High Wind Non-Air Cooled caps - 5 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch - Find Your Fit

Five Sizes. One Design. Zero Guesswork.

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 solid-pack and single-wall chimney pipe on the market. The 8″ is our fits-all size and covers the most common fireplace and stove installations. If you are between sizes, round up – and if you are unsure which you have, pop your existing cap off and measure the inner pipe before you order.

Available Sizes and Pricing:

  • 5 Inch – $425.00
  • 6 Inch – $485.00
  • 8 Inch – $590.00
  • 10 Inch – $625.00
  • 12 Inch – $699.00

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this high wind non-air cooled cap different from standard caps?

It’s built with reinforced stainless steel, a streamlined high-wind hood, and built-in standoff fins designed specifically for solid-pack and single-wall pipe – preventing downdrafts and keeping rain out while maintaining a thermal-safe air gap.

What sizes are available and how do I choose the right one?

Available in 5″, 6″, 8″, 10″, and 12″ sizes. Measure the inside diameter of your solid-pack or single-wall flue pipe to ensure a snug slip-fit. If between sizes, round up.

Is professional installation necessary?

While you can install it yourself by sliding it into the flue – the standoff fins center it and set screws lock it in place – professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit and seal in high-wind areas.

How does it prevent downdrafts and improve draft?

The tall high-wind hood deflects horizontal gusts and creates upward airflow, significantly reducing the risk of cold wind entering the chimney and affecting room temperature.

What is the difference between air-cooled and non-air cooled chimney caps?

Air-cooled chimney pipes have a built-in air gap between inner and outer walls. Non-air cooled (solid-pack) and single-wall pipes do not. This cap is engineered specifically for non-air cooled systems, with standoff fins that create a thermal-safe gap between the cap and your pipe.

Is the cap durable enough for extreme weather?

Yes – custom fabricated from premium 304 stainless steel in the USA, wind-tested to 70+ mph, and covered by a lifetime warranty for long-term, high-wind performance.
