The Spinner Anti Downdraught & Ventilating Chimney Cowl prevents moderate and severe wind from penetrating the chimney which causes smoke to escape from a fireplace or stove.

This is designed to work with wind coming from any direction thanks to the 'sail' design blade fins.

Main features:

  • Constructed from robust high grade stainless steel
  • Can be installed on an 8"" standard flue liner or chimney pot
  • Supplied leg length - 105mm.
  • Strap length - 1000mm
  • Not to be used with a chimney shorter than 5.5m or 18 feet, fuels with a moisture content of greater than 20% or high Sulphur fuels
  • Laboratory tested by BSRIA UK.
  • Manufactured to EN16475-7:2016 & CE Marked

It starts to work immediately in the wind due to the double bearing pivot action and also prevents rain penetration.

When revolving, the Spinner Cowl also ventilates the chimney shaft helping to keep it dry.

It also prevents back-up smells coming down into the room via the fireplace or stove.

A major benefit of this Spinner Cowl is the prevention of nesting birds in your chimney.

Typical down draught symptoms:

  • If you experience smoke or fumes coming (puffing) out from the stove or open fireplace in windy weather
  • If you experience smoke or fumes coming (puffing) out from the stove or open fireplace when the wind is coming from one direction

    Note:

    If these symptoms are evident when the wind is slight or when there is no wind (Spinner not revolving) then the problem is not down draught but a lack of draught.
