Common Chimney Terminations
Two chimney terminations are offered by Isokern, the DM 54
large crown cap and the DM 54 small crown caps. These are cement
crown caps designed to provide a weather cap to the DM 54 chimney
system. Their design is typical of the cement caps found on traditional
masonry chimneys.
Due to owner preference and architectural design criteria
other chimney terminations can be used alone or in conjunction with
the crown caps. Special design caps may be designed and constructed
by others and must be fashioned so as not to restrict the ow of smoke
and gasses out the top of the ue opening. Figure 116 depicts common
chimney terminations.
Check with local building codes to establish the need for
chimney caps and spark arrestors or for any limitations to their design
and use.
