Since it is necessary to exceed the ridge of the roof, the chimney cap must ensure the outflow even in presence of
wind (Picture 6).
The chimney cap must respect the following requirements:
•
have an internal section equivalent to that of the chimney.
•
have useful exit section double to that inside the flue.
•
be built in a way to avoid penetration of rain, snow and any other foreign body into the flue.
•
be easy to inspect, for any maintenance and cleaning.
