Description
Small flues feel the wind too. The 130mm storm end piece sits on top of a 130mm single skin flue and acts as a storm cowl, letting smoke escape while breaking up gusts that would otherwise push it back down. It is a simple part that can make a big difference to how well a fireplace draws.
130mm Storm End Piece Details
- Diameter: 130mm
- Suits: single skin (non-insulated) flue
- Material: stainless steel
- Style: storm cowl end piece
What it fits
Use it to finish a 130mm single skin flue run, the size used on many smaller stoves. If your appliance has a 130 mm outlet, check whether the flue above it is single skin or insulated, since each type needs its own cowl. Browse matching parts in our storm cowl for single flues range, or the wider flues and accessories section.
Fitting note
The end piece must fit the outer size of the last flue length snugly. Our chimney cowl installation team can fit it on the roof, check the flue height and seal the flashing so winter rain stays out.
Looking after it
Stainless steel needs very little care. When the chimney is swept each year, ask for the cowl to be checked and cleared of soot, leaves or nests. A clear cowl keeps the draw strong and the room clear of smoke.
Will a 130mm storm cowl stop all smoke problems?
It solves wind-related downdraught. Smoke can also come from wet wood, a short flue or a blocked pipe, so we look at the whole system before recommending parts.
