Gelco 13550 17" x 17" Black Galvanized Steel Multi-Flue Chimney Cap with 5/8" Mesh

17" x 17" Gelco Black Galvanized Steel Chimney Cap

Gelco has been building quality tops for over twenty years. So whatever style of chimney top you need, they've got you covered. Gelco top-mounted multi-flue top attaches directly to the chimney crown, protecting the flue as well as the crown.

Many localities, primarily California, have codes that call for 1/2" spark arrestors. The California state building code calls for such spark arrestors on all new construction. The mesh on this cap measures 5/8" from center to center, but still won't let a 1/2" sphere through. Therefore the mesh adheres to these code requirements but also maintains a somewhat clog resistance.

A Black Galvanized Cap is an excellent choice on a budget but does have a few drawbacks. It is far less resilient so is only covered under a 3 year warranty against rust. It also is not recommended for salty air, so coastal regions should avoid Black Galvanized and should consider Stainless Steel or Copper.
