The main purpose of the Spinner Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl 8″ is to prevent the penetration of the chimney by moderate or severe winds which causes smoke to escape from the open fireplace or stove or any other appliance such as an insert stove or range.
Thanks to ‘sail’ design blade fins the Spinner Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl 8″ responds to wind coming from any direction.
Its response is immediate because of its double bearing pivot action. The more severe the wind – the more effective the Spinner cowl becomes.
When revolving, the Spinner Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl 8″ also ventilates the chimney shaft helping keep it dry and it can also help prevent back up smells coming down into the room via the fireplace or stove.
This Spinner Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl will fit a standard chimney pot. In Ireland, a standard chimney pot measures 8 inches internal diameter. This is the most popular sized chimney pot in Ireland. Some chimney pots measure 9 inches internal diameter and this Spinner Anti Down Draught Chimney Cowl will also fit this size.
Does not impede the performance of the chimney in any way.
Suitable for use with all fuels – oil, gas & solid fuels (except anthracite) with a moisture content below 20%.
The Spinner Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl 8″ also protects the chimney from moisture ingress and nesting birds. If your problem is excess moisture ingress a Static Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl offers more protection from driving rain than either the Spinner Anti Downdraught Chimney Cowl 8″ or Anti Bird / Anti Rain Chimney Cowl 8” -9”
