The item you are describing is the Draft King 14 inch Black Painted Galvanized Steel Round Bolt-On Single Flue Chimney Cover, MPN CBO14. You can find it here: Draft King 14 in Painted Galvanized Chimney Cover. This cap is designed for round flues with an outside diameter ranging from 13.5 to 14.5 inches, so your 14.5-inch exterior flue diameter is within its specified fit range. It is currently in stock and typically ships the same business day. We did not receive any photos with your question; if you would like us to double-check the fit against a photo of your flue, please reply with it attached.
