Its primary function is to provide a sealed top for the chimney, preventing water ingress and keeping pests at bay while simplifying the installation process of your flue liner.
Features and Benefits
Durable Construction: The use of 316L Stainless Steel means that the product is naturally resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh weather. This durability provides peace of mind and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Integrated Rain Cap: The rain cap is a standout feature, effectively protecting your chimney from moisture and debris. It minimizes the risk of damage to the chimney lining, a crucial factor for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your heating system.
Easy Installation: With an integrated protection sleeve that fits seamlessly within the flexible flue liner, installation becomes a straightforward process. This design feature simplifies the clamping process, reducing installation time and errors.

Installation Process
When considering the installation of the Top Insert Sleeve with Rain Cap - Ø 180, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines to ensure optimal performance. Begin by inspecting your masonry chimney for any structural weaknesses. Next, ensure that the flexible flue liner is correctly positioned within the chimney. Once the liner is in place, insert the sleeve carefully, making sure that the integrated protection sleeve is fully aligned within the liner. This alignment is crucial, as it ensures a secure fit and efficient performance. Avoid using chemical cleaners and unsuitable tools during the installation process to prevent any damage to the integrity of the system.
Maintenance and Safety Considerations
Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your chimney remains in excellent condition. With the Top Insert Sleeve with Rain Cap - Ø 180 in place, routine checks should be carried out at least twice a year, particularly at the beginning and end of the heating season.
