Description
A large flue needs a proper cap, and the 450mm storm cowl end piece is made for exactly that. It finishes the top of a 450mm double skin flue, keeping rain and debris out and helping smoke leave cleanly when the wind picks up.
450mm Storm Cowl Details
A stainless steel cowl of this type shields the flue opening so wind gusting across the roof does not push smoke back down into the room. That matters in Cape Town, where the south-easter and winter fronts are hard on any chimney. This end piece is made from stainless steel, so it resists rust in salty coastal air.
- Diameter: 450mm
- Type: double skin (insulated) flue
- Material: stainless steel
- Weight: 5.96 kg
What it fits
It is sized for 450mm double skin flues, the large diameter systems used on big built-in fireplaces, pizza ovens and commercial braai or kitchen extraction. Check that the rest of your double skin flue is the same diameter before you order. See matching parts under storm cowls for insulated flues, all cowls, or the wider flues and accessories range.
Fitting note
The cowl must sit securely on the flue and clear the roof line by the right height to draw well. Our team fits and replaces cowls across Cape Town, see our chimney cowl installation service.
Will a storm cowl stop my fireplace smoking?
A storm cowl helps a lot when wind causes downdraught. If smoke comes from a short flue or poor airflow, we check the whole system and advise on the right fix.
