Rotating Wind Directional Chimney Cap Installed by Luxury Metals

This video shows how the Luxury Metals rotating wind directional cap operates on a windy day. The cap will rotate and align opposite of the prevailing wind so that the flue is always blocked from the brunt of the wind and crating positive flue drafting and preventing smoke from being pushed back down the chimney stack.

I like the design, the whole thing made from a single piece of metal as opposed to a lot of others that are more complex!

Can you tell me if this would stop smoke being blown into a neighbouring house? My Neighbours have a summer house in there garden 4 metres from our home, were a bit lower down and their flue is level with the bedroom window. Our house fills with the smell of smoke like it’s coming in lol very window and we’re suffering ill health from it we’ve spoke to the neighbours and they have agreed to make the flue higher. (No idea if that will actually help) but would of of these help a bit more?

Does this require an adapter for installing on a triple wall pipe?

[@chocrow]

i had one of these installed last year. the draft they maintain is amazing. however, mine has this awful squeak as it rotates to one side. it is SO loud and annoying. i have read to lube it, but i was wondering if anyone out there has tried this fix or had this problem before. please help.

I would just lube it with some spray graphite. Graphite will lubricate but not gum up or burn off

[@reddye2331]

Exactly what him said. Any type of lube/oil will work for a while until the heat dissipates it. Then back to same problem. Sadly graphite is ur only option. As far as I know of. Thick as heavy axle packing grease would work right but I would think it would be way to big of a risk of catching fire in a chimney exhaust.

​@@amyalexahubthis just stops the downdraft of smoke. If anything, it might blow more smoke into your house, not sure though.

​@@amyalexahub нет , это не поможет. Пусть делают трубу выше.
