Clean out cap for Dura Vent 8-stainless-steel-class-a-chimney-pipe-

[dkuntz413]

I have an exterior 8 inch stainless steel Dura Vent tee on my house. Dura Vent will not sell the clean out cap without the tee which costs $275.00. Does anyone have any idea where I might find just the clean out cap?
Here is a link to it with a photo-

any cap which fits will work & rust prematurely, might not be code-kosher? so id paint it silver

Call the company (Selkirk?) and tell them you need to purchase the clean out cap separately and if they will not then ask for a manager and tell him/her that you will be forced to report them to the better business bureau if they cannot help you with that replacement part.

I don't think that Simpson sells anything directly, but it wouldn't hurt to call them and to ask nicely if they can help you out.

Right, and if they can get the cap alone to a distributor of theirs you could always just order throught the distributor.

My advice was more of a "worst case" approach.

Yesterday I noticed that Security does list a tee cap as a separate item. I have no idea if it would work, but it might be worth checking if no alternative presents itself.

Thanks for the help with this.
A simple phone call to Dura Vent, gets me a replacement cap, as I am the original owner of the pipe.
The treated it as an item under warranty.
