Rain in chimney

[bholler]

Is a cap required by code? Im not talking about certain locales requiring a spark arrestor and their codes.

Don't you install chimneys for furnaces professionally? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I just received the email back from Selkirk and they recommend to use the "standard" if is a concern of rain going inside the chimney; so now I have to return the "deluxe" one.

To me the standard is s much better cap. The only time the deluxe would be better is if you have lots of issues with wind.

I have worked in HVAC in the past. The units I installed were condensing furnaces so no chimneys. Just PVC intake and exhaust. Might be someone else. I did work on a framing crew and installed ZC fireplaces and triple wall chimneys in four and six unit condos we built. Maybe that was it? That was in the 80's. Pipe was three separate diameters that you assembled as you went up. Air cooled.

No I had to be thinking of someone else.
