Chimney cowls
The chimney cowl is an important part of the installation and can be often ignored.
A cowl normally serves more than one purpose.
1) It prevents rain entering the chimney system which will result in poor chimney operation and potential
damage to the appliance.
2) It can prevent birds nesting resulting in partial or blocked chimneys.
3) Most important it can act as a stabilizer in windy conditions.
Different types of cowls produce different conditions which will affect the negative pressure within the chimney
system. Great caution must be taken when choosing the cowl as an incorrect choice can result in poor stove operation.
Some anti down draught cowls work by inducing up draught which can seriously affect the combustion within the
burner and may even cause damage to the catalyser.
It is as important to fit the cowl correctly to the flue termination. All installations of this type should have a chimney
pot fitted to the top of the chimney. The flue liner should be brought to the top of the chimney pot with insulation
between the liner and pot.
