Chimney hat Ø160

The Ø160 chimney cap is a stainless steel terminal element (top) of the „Chinese hat“ type for single-wall chimney systems with a diameter of 160 mm. It is mounted at the top of the chimney.

Technometal Hellas is a Greek manufacturer of chimney systems (Lagadas, near Thessaloniki, Greece). The company produces its single-wall chimney elements (TechnoGos 304 CE series) from AISI 304 (1.4301) stainless steel with a thickness of 0.40 or 0.50 mm, CE marked according to EN 1856-1 and EN 1856-2. According to the manufacturer, the single-wall system is intended for fireplaces, stoves, oil, pellet and gas boilers, withstands a continuous temperature of up to 400°C (up to 200°C when using a thermo-silicone sealant) and is recommended for indoor installation.

How it connects:

All Technometal Hellas chimney caps have a female end and fit directly onto the last Ø160 section. An adapter is required for mounting on an insulated (double-wall) chimney.

Technical specifications:

• Type: chimney cap (Chinese hat)
• Diameter: Ø160 mm

The elements are connected via a male and female end. If you use a thermo-silicone sealant (not included), it is applied to the male end. The manufacturer recommends securing every joint between elements with a clamp. The choice of diameter, steel and thickness depends on the appliance and fuel – for wood in a closed fireplace, non-certified pellets and solid fuel the manufacturer recommends AISI 316L with a thickness of 0.50 mm. Installation must be carried out by a specialist.
