*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 an 8 inch mesh height. We also offer this same custom chimney cap with mesh in 10 inch, 12 inch, and 16 inch height to fit almost everyone's needs. |

Do the dimensions include the tabs used for mounting?
1 Answer
No, the dimensions are based on the screen-to-screen size. The 3/4" mounting strips can either flip inside the screens or outside the screens for mounting to the surface/crown of the chimney around the flue(s).

Rich
from Green Lane, PA asked:
August 16, 2019
If I select a 14" width (inside), what will the outside dimension required on the chimney?
1 Answer
This cap is a surface-mount, meaning it does not attach to the outside of the chimney. The width and length you select will be the screen-to-screen size of the cap, and then there will be a mounting flange that can flip inside or outside the screens, and you can then use masonry anchors plus adhesive (optional) to attach it to the chimney.

How does the Gelco Model # 0909M8 cap attach to the clay flue pipe?

No that cap mounts on to the crown of the chimney. The size not only depends on the flue opening/pipe size, but the OD of the chimney itself.

Gary
from Concord, NH asked:
November 1, 2017
You had a similar question to this one, but the answer didn't match what I think is logical. I have a 23 by 19 old chimney (no flue), so I would like the cap to set over the chimney and bolt on top of it. Is this feasible? And would I add inches to the dimensions?
1 Answer
This is absolutely feasible. Note that the caps we offer are listed by their screen-to-screen size. So, for your application, if 23" x 19" is the outside dimension of your chimney, you would want to size down an inch or two to allow room to mount the swing-tabs to the top of your chimney.

Mel
from Rome, NY asked:
October 12, 2017
I have a brick chimney; do I measure the outside diameter of the brick opening exactly or add extra an inch?
1 Answer
Since that cap mounts on the crown, you would need to measure both the flue opening and the OD of the brick chimney as well.

I'm a DIY'er and just finished putting a crown on our chimney. I'm not sure how tall the screen height of the cap should be. It's a 2-sided fire place, ranch style house. I'm thinking of centering the cap on the crown using a 16" x 35". Any thoughts? Pictures attached.

With these caps, you should choose a screen height at least 5" taller than the tallest flue tile extending from the crown surface.

from VT asked:
November 27, 2015
How much do the mounting flanges add to the length and width of this Multi-flue semi-custom Gelco chimney cap? Also, how do I remove the cap for cleaning? Remove the tapcons?
1 Answer
The cap will arrive with 3/4" reversible swing tabs at the base for securing the cap to the crown via inside or outside mounting, depending on preference. This is not removed for cleaning and will stay secured to the crown. For cleaning, the lid can be quickly removed by unbolting the cap screws that hold it in place.

Does it matter which side is Length and which side is Width?

It does not. However, just so we have a reference between the two, there are longer lengths available than widths. The industry standard defaults the length as being greater than the width.

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.

Finally - a QUALITY cap!
Gelco Stainless 17"x17" base single flue chimney capI've got a very old, oddball-sized chimney (since I rebuilt it myself - I'm a mechanic, NOT a mason!) with no clay liner ... or any liner for that matter. Needed a cap to fit this thing. Hours of searching on the net brought me here. I had originally passed over this cap, since the specs said 17"x17" - my chimney is a hair over 18" in both directions - didn't think it would fit. After asking eFireplace tech support for an option, I was directed to this - I had no idea it would fit a wide range of sizes, due to the long set-screws used to fasten it to the exterior of the chimney. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Price was reasonable as well - a WIN-WIN!We burn anthracite coal to heat our home. Stainless caps are a MUST, as flyash from coal turns to sulfuric acid when combined with moisture. The cap has been up for about a month now. Does have some slight staining that I can see, but that's to be expected. It's very secure, so I won't have to worry about climbing up on the roof in the middle of a storm to place the cap back on after a gust of wind. This was a common routine with the old cap, which I had to cut and modify to fit INSIDE the chimney. VERY happy with this one. Those set screws have a point to them, which bites right into the brick real good. Also allows for easy removal for cleaning. It's well built, and should last indefinitely.
ProsReasonably priced

Stainless construction

Holding Strong
Our flue is a ceramic/tile construction, and I wasn't quite certain how tight the screws should be. I didn't want them so loose that the cap blows off or so tight that the tile cracks. A little guidance on this topic would have been nice, but so far it seems to be secure even in high winds.
