Grade 304 stainless works great for most applications and budgets. Grade 316 stainless handles coastal salt air and industrial environments. Galvanized steel costs less but needs replacement every 8-10 years. Stainless steel caps come with 25-year warranties against rust. The view demonstrates how materials affect cap performance and longevity. We recommend stainless for any permanent installation.

Air Cooling Features in 6 Inch Wind Directional Cap View
