Abstract
A flue pipe filter device for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission levels from gas fired appliances may include a flue cap with a pipe connection adapter sized to attach to an existing exhaust pipe; a fanned flue cap body with vents operatively attached to a distal end of the pipe connection adapter; and a filter positioned within the fanned flue cap body, the filter designed to convert NOx emissions into reduced NOx emissions. The filter may have an interior honeycomb structure.

A flue pipe filter device for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission levels from gas fired appliances, the device comprising:
- a flue cap with a pipe connection adapter sized to attach to an existing exhaust pipe;
- a fanned flue cap body with vents operatively attached to a distal end of the pipe connection adapter;
- a filter positioned within the fanned flue cap body, the filter designed to convert NOx emissions into reduced NOx emissions;
- and
- a lower flue having a first end and a second end, wherein:
- the first end is operatively attached to the pipe connector adapter;
- the second end is attached to the fanned flue cap body;
- the fanned flue cap body comprises a lower cap with a central tubular member sized to attach to the lower flue;
- and
- the filter is positioned within the central tubular member, such that exhaust flowing through the lower flue into the fanned flue cap body passes through the filter.
