How to Fit
Place the
Rain Cowl onto the pot ensuring that the three inner legs are inside the pot and the three outer leg sit outside the pot.
Place the jubilee around the three outer legs that are hanging down the outside of the pot, ensuring that the jubilee sits at least 2.5 inches from the base of each leg.
Tighten the jubilee by threading the open end through the toggle end, then push the screw on the jubilee to a horizontal position and tighten with a flat head screw driver.
Tightening the jubillee should clasp the legs of the
Rain Cowl tight to the Chimney Pot.
Bend the 2.5inch of metal leg that sit below the jubilee into a
V position around the jubilee as seen in the picture.
Choosing the Correct Size
How to choose a Chimney Cap or Chimney Cowl for your Chimney PotIf you can accurately guess the size or width of the chimney pot from the floor you can order the right Cap or Cowl from Chimney Cowl Products. The good news is this is relatively easy once you know the rough size of a house brick and the thickness of the walls of a chimney pot.
Using either the naked eye or a set of binoculars get a 'side on' view of the chimney pot you wish to cap or fit a chimney cowl, then find a full sized brick nearest to the chosen pot as a reference, normally directly underneath.
Now imagine that the brick is placed on top of the chimney pot itself and make a mental note whether it would fit inside, hang over, or sit flush. It may sound silly but once you know that the width of an average UK house brick is 225mm ( 9" ) for imperial or 215 ( 8 and half " ) on a modern property, it provides a very accurate impromptu tape measure.
The other factor you may need is internal pot size, this can also be guessed quite accurately if you know the average thickness of a chimney pot is about 25mm ( 1" ) , simply factor this in and you can work out most chimney pot width's quite accurately.
If you have large decorative rolls on top of the pot, make an allowance for this by guessing, using a brick as your guide.
That's it, our range of Chimney Cowls and Caps are all available for immediate delivery.
Finally, please check that the Cowl is secure - thats it.
