*Also Note: GSC Lids are embossed if the width is 14” or greater but lids that are 13” and less width have no embossing. *Please Note: This item is custom made by the manufacturer and can not be cancelled or returned once the order is placed unless the item is defective or damaged in transit. Few things in life are less fun than dealing with an unwanted animal visitor in your home. Unless it's paying for water damage in your chimney, or having a wayward spark from your fireplace catching your roof on fire. Here's the thing, though - chimney caps help prevent all of those problems. Just a simple metal cage, sitting on top of your flue, that keep the rain and animals out, while the wire mesh lets smoke out and keep sparks in. But if you've got a chimney with multiple flues, it should be a bit more complicated, shouldn't it? Not here. This Gelco semi-custom, multi-flue chimney cap is built to take care of exactly your needs. And we mean your needs - semi-custom means that you get to choose the length, height, mesh size and and overhang for yourself. This item comes in widths of 9 inches to 28 inches, and lengths of 9 inches to 58 inches, with a 12 inch mesh height. We also offer this same custom chimney cap with mesh in 8 inch, 10 inch, and 16 inch height to fit almost everyone's needs. |

How is this mounted?

This particular cap is a surface mount model that would anchor vertically down into the crown around your flue(s). We also sell some outside mount caps, including the option to have a fully custom outside mount cap if your application calls for it.

Martha
from Monson, Ma. asked:
June 21, 2019
I need to buy a chimney cap for a double flue chimney. I would like a top mount or outside mount stainless steel cap that covers both flues, rather than a cap for each flue. One of the flues is 5 inches tall. I burn firewood as my principal heat source and I need to clean my chimney from the top down.' The problem is that I can barely reach to clean as it is. Is there a way I can attach a chimney cap for a double flue chimney so that I can remove it for cleaning?
1 Answer
The cap you are looking at is ideal. The 12" height gives sufficient clearance above the 5" high flue, so you simply select the screen-to-screen dimensions needed to get at least 1" around each flue and use the tabs to mount down onto the crown of your chimney. The base will be permanently affixed to the crown with masonry anchors and/or adhesive, then the lid is removable for servicing the chimney.

Kirk
from Emporium, PA asked:
November 3, 2016
Is it acceptable to attach this cap to the chimney top using adhesive instead of screws? Also, regarding measurements, my chimney top outside dimensions are 19" x 36". Deducting for the 3/4" hinged mounting brackets on each end and each side of the cap (1 1/2" total per length and 1 1/2" total for width), and wanting maximum cap coverage, I should order a 17" x 33" cap ( part # 0909M12). Is this correct?
1 Answer
While it could be attached with adhesive, this will make it more susceptible to being blown off in strong winds. Based on your information, the 17" x 33" cap would indeed be the correct size.

The flanges are indeed inside the mesh in this image. They are swing tabs that can be moved outward or inward depending on your installation. You would indeed use sealant or masonry screws to install this cap.

Awesome Cap - bad packing
Ordered 17x44x12 Gelco stainless steel cap. Product is exactly what I needed. Problem is it was delivered with the box end open. Bolts missing and some dents. I replaced the bolts at homedepot and banged out a couple dents in the cover. Point is whoever is shipping these needs to actually put packing material in the box or repackage for shipping. There was none and everything was just sliding around.
