Description
The 180mm Storm Cowl End Piece is the top section of a 180mm double skin flue. It sits on the last length of pipe above the roof and shields the opening from wind and rain. In Cape Town, where the southeaster and winter storms can push smoke back into the lounge, a proper storm cowl makes a real difference to how a fireplace draws.

What it fits
This end cowl is made for a 180mm double skin flue system. It suits larger wood fireplaces that use a 180mm outlet. It is not meant for single skin pipe, so check your flue type first. Browse the full range of storm cowls for insulated flues for other sizes, or see all our chimney cowl options.
Fitting note
A cowl only works if the flue is the right height above the roof and sealed at the flashing. Our team can fit or replace the storm cowl as part of a chimney cowl installation in Cape Town, and we check the rest of the flue while we are up there.
Will a storm cowl stop smoke blowing back?
It helps a lot. The storm cowl shields the flue opening from gusts that cause downdraught. If smoke still comes back, the flue may be too short or the room may lack fresh air, and we can check both.
