Chimney Cap Measuring for single, double & multi flue chimney caps made easy..... Lets climb that ladder once.....
measure "everything" twice.
Always measure a flue side to side,
never corner to corner.
A flue may
be square, rectangular, oval or round. Measure accordingly.
Provide the inner and outer measurement to size
other options such as top sealing dampers.
If the spacing between the flues is wide enough single caps may be used instead of double or
multi flue caps.
If the flues are flush, recessed or it's just a
"hole"... measure it's opening in the crown.
A & B Measure to the
OUTER most edge of the chimney's top.
The chimney's cement "crown".
C & D
Measure the span or OUTER most edge of each flue or group of flues.
E Measure
EVERYTHING
else...spacing between the flues, the spacing to each edge
of the chimney, etc.
H
Measure the height of the flue or highest flue in the group.
Flue

or rectangular sleeve lining the interior of masonry chimneys. This is the
pathway in which the "smoke" or flue gases pass through to exit into the
atmosphere.
(Some chimney were constructed with no clay liner or metal pipe was used as the
flue pipe.)
**Always measure a flue side to side, never corner to

Chimney Crown -- Also called
a "wash"... is usually a cement topping around the flues and tapered to the
chimneys sides to shed water.

installation.)Looking for chimney caps to cure a downdraft problem??...
