Abstract
A chimney termination cap is provided with a body having a perimeter sidewall with a lower region adapted to be mounted to a chimney. The body has an opening for venting the chimney. A lid is mounted to a top of the body. A tray is mounted within the body for collecting precipitation. One of the body and the tray includes a drainage aperture for draining the precipitation from the tray. In one embodiment, the chimney termination cap includes an integrated slip-sleeve configured to receive a chimney flue or vent pipe.
Claims17
A chimney termination cap assembly comprising:
- a body having a perimeter sidewall with a lower region adapted to be mounted to a chimney, the body having at least one opening for venting the chimney;
- a lid mounted to a top of the body, the lid having at least one drainage aperture formed therethrough proximate the perimeter sidewall;
- at least one tray mounted within the body for collecting precipitation and including at least one drainage aperture formed therethrough and aligned with the at least one drainage aperture formed through the lid for draining the precipitation from the lid to the at least one tray;
- a coupling mounted to the at least one tray adapted to receive a chimney pipe end, wherein the body opening is oriented adjacent to the coupling;
- and
- a base tray mounted to the lower region of the body for collecting precipitation being centrally inclined for directing the precipitation externally from the chimney termination cap assembly;
- wherein one of the body and the base tray includes at least one drainage aperture oriented adjacent to a lower periphery of the sidewall for draining the precipitation from the base tray.

A chimney termination cap assembly comprising:
- a body having a perimeter sidewall with a lower region adapted to be mounted to a chimney, the body having at least one opening for venting the chimney;
- a lid mounted to a top of the body;
- a first centrally inclined tray mounted within the body for collecting precipitation and directing the precipitation outboard, wherein the first tray includes at least one drainage aperture oriented adjacent to the sidewall for draining the precipitation from the first tray;
- a second centrally inclined tray mounted within the body spaced apart from the first tray for collecting precipitation and directing the precipitation outboard, wherein one of the body and the second tray includes at least one drainage aperture oriented adjacent to the sidewall and aligned with the at least one drainage aperture in the first tray for draining the precipitation from the second tray;
- and
- a centrally inclined base tray mounted to the lower region of the body for collecting precipitation and directing the precipitation outboard, wherein one of the body and the base tray includes at least one drainage aperture oriented adjacent to a lower periphery of the sidewall and aligned with the at least one drainage aperture in the second tray for draining the precipitation from the base tray.
