    Q:Why are these chimney caps not recommended for oil furnace? I do not see any that are.
    by|Sep 25, 2022
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  The stainless steel units are recommended for oil furnace exhaust. The chemicals in the flue gases from oil burning are corrosive and will react with galvanized and aluminum covers destroying them over time. The stainless steel part number is BT1749K10W. The stainless steel have a limited life time warranty. Feel free to call Customer Service for additional questions. Thank you for your question.

      Q:My chimney is only 16 1/2 inches wide but it says there needs to be 17 inches. Can I make it work despite being 1/2 short. Also, does this cap come in 14 inch height.
      by|Sep 9, 2022
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  The screen to screen dimensions are 14 x 34 + 2 1/2" more for the mounting flanges = 16 1/2" x 36 1/2" out to out. Since the Big Top is secured to the chimney by Tapcon type screws the issue is that the screws may break out the cement crown when you install the screws because they are so close to the outside of the chimney. I recommend you go to a Band Around cover that is custom made for your chimney. This cover attaches to the chimney with a 2" band that tightens up around the outside top row of bricks. If you are interested in the Band Around give us a call at 1-800-325-7076 and we will help you get what you need. Thank you!

        Q:Does the 17x17 have vertical metal pieces in the corners like the rectangular sizes?
        by|Apr 16, 2022
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  The screens on all the Big Tops are connected in the corners using vertical metal "L" brackets regardless of the height. If this response has not answered your question please call Customer Service at 1-800-325-7076. We will be happy to help you! Thank you,

            Fit perfectly for my application and includes adhesive and "anchor screw" mounting kit to secure directly to existing concrete chimney cap. Looks great and easy to assemble and install. Make sure to get a masonry drill bit for the anchor screws (I believe mine was 3/16").
