“I saved 20% on my purchase compared to other retailers. Exceptional service!” – Jane D.
The EuroSW1 Anti-Wind Cowl, with its ø 175mm diameter, is a superior single-skin flue connecting pipe crafted from zero carbon steel. Perfect for use with gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances that operate at temperatures up to 600°C, this cowl forms an essential part of your flue system. Recommended only as a connecting pipe between your appliance and flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall flue system, the EuroSW1 should not be used to pass through ceilings or combustible walls.
Its friction-fit joints do not need sealing, but you can apply a jointing compound for added security. Notably, this pipe can be cut to size – just ensure the exposed ends are treated with high-temperature paint to prevent rusting. Maintenance is also straightforward: for solid fuel applications, it’s advisable to sweep and inspect your chimney regularly, ideally at least once a year.
Always wear appropriate PPE during installation, and remember that the smaller diameter should face downward to keep condensates within the system.

• Ensure the EuroSW1 Anti-Wind Cowl is connected as a flue system joining pipe between your appliance and your flue liner, chimney stack, or twin wall system. • Always install so that the smaller diameter of the cowl faces downward; this prevents condensates from accumulating in the system. • Although the friction-fit joints usually do not require sealing, applying a high-temperature jointing compound can add an extra layer of security in high-demand installations. • The cowl is designed for non-combustible or fire-resistant partitioning; do not use for passing through ceilings or combustible walls. • For optimal longevity, any components that have been cut to size should have their exposed edges treated with high-temperature paint to avoid rusting over time. • When handling or installing the cowl, make sure to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety at all times.

When selecting a flue system component, the quality and performance of every part are vital. The EuroSW1 Anti-Wind Cowl is one such element, meticulously engineered to guarantee efficiency and safety for your heating system. This guide is designed to walk you through its benefits and address common queries regarding installation, maintenance, and compatibility with your heating setup.
Why Choose the EuroSW1 Anti-Wind Cowl?
The EuroSW1 Anti-Wind Cowl provides a number of compelling advantages:
• Robust Construction: Crafted from high-grade 316 stainless steel, this flue connector is built to tolerate the rigours of daily use and harsh weather conditions. The 1mm steel thickness paired with a continuous weld ensures a seamless and secure connection between your appliance and the flue liner.
• Enhanced Safety: Its anti-wind design minimises the risk of bird strikes and downdraughts, which can have a detrimental effect on system performance. Whether you are using wood, oil, gas, or even low sulphur coal, you can trust this cowl to deliver stable and reliable performance.
• Flexible and Easy to Install: With a friction-fit design, installation is straightforward. The product can be easily cut to the required length for your specific setup, ensuring a custom fit that upholds the integrity of your flue system. Remember, if you customise the length, always treat the exposed ends with high-temperature paint to prevent corrosion.
Detailed Features and Their Benefits
The key features of the EuroSW1 Anti-Wind Cowl are designed to merge quality with operational flexibility:
- 316 Grade Stainless Steel: Offers national and international standards in reliability and performance, providing a long-lasting solution against rust and corrosion.
- 1mm Steel Thickness & Continuous Weld: Guarantees that each joint is robust enough to handle high temperatures, up to 600°C, which is essential for the demanding conditions of gas, oil, and solid fuel appliances.
- Wind-Resistant Design: Engineered to prevent wind wash, a common issue that may compromise the performance of compromised flue systems, ensuring your appliance functions optimally during adverse weather conditions.
- Friction-Fit Joint: Allows for simple and secure assembly without the need for extensive sealing. However, for peace of mind, many professionals opt to use a high-temperature jointing compound.
Installation and Safety Tips
A critical part of achieving the best performance from your heating system is a correct installation. Follow these guidelines:
1. Positioning: Always use the EuroSW1 as a connecting pipe between your appliance and the flue liner. Its correct placement ensures that the smaller diameter faces downward to collect any condensate within the system.
2. Cut-to-Size: If cutting to size is required, remember that any newly exposed ends must be painted with high-temperature paint. This prevents rust and extends the lifespan of the component.
3. Personal Safety: Installation should never be undertaken without the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Safety first—always adhere to best practices when installing flue system parts.
4. Maintenance: For solid fuel applications, regular maintenance is crucial. An annual chimney sweep and inspection are recommended to ensure the system is free from obstructions and is maintaining proper function.
