Vacu Stack
Chimney Caps |
|
The Vacu-Stack Chimney Cap solves the two wind related
chimney problems -- wind induced downdraft and dynamic wind loading. The
streamline flow of the wind around the Vacu-Stack prevents wind from
blowing into the chimney -- even when the wind is deflected downward.
The Vacu-Stack creates a venturi that causes flue gases to flow up and
out of the chimney. |
|
There are no moving parts to bind or
malfunction.
Vacu-Stacks are tested by an independent testing laboratory. In the
absence of wind, Vacu-Stacks provide a more than adequate passage for
exhausting flue gases. The open spaces in a properly sized vacu-stack
are several times larger than the flue opening. The unique design of the
Vacu-Stack gives excellent protection from downdrafts caused by wind,
where other devices often fail. |
High
quality austenitic stainless steel, T-304, guarantees superior
durability for long service life. All fasteners and hardware are also
made of stainless steel for complete corrosion protection. Ribbed
construction provides extra strength and reinforcement. Exposed edges
are hemmed for ease of installation. The Vacu-Stack chimney cap is made
in the USA.

is easy to install. It fits directly into round flues. Square and
rectangular masonry chimneys require a stainless steel adapter. The adapters
are adjustable and fasten securely to the inside of the flue. Chimneys
should be cleaned and inspected before installation and must conform with
applicable fire, safety and building codes. Detailed instructions are
furnished. The Vacu-Stack is easily removed for annual chimney cleaning and
inspection. |
Round Metal Chimney Installation:
|
Vacu-Stack
caps easily fit inside round factory built chimneys. Optional stainless
steel Spark Arrestors are required in some states. Check your building
code.. Apply a thin film of
silicone caulking (not furnished, but available from your local home center)
to seal the joint between the Vacu-stack and the top of the chimney. |
|
AIR COOLED CHIMNEYS REQUIRE TDW
MODELS....
DO NOT bend the
three spacers located on the underside of the TDW models. The spacers maintain
ventilation space between the bottom of the Vacu-Stack and the top of the
chimney. This is essential for uninterrupted air flow through the cooling
channels in air cooled chimneys.
