Stainless Steel Chimney Chase Cover Installation by Rockford Chimney Supply

www.RockfordCh... presents an Installation overview for a Stainless Steel Chimney Chase Cover
Chase covers are an external top covering for a pre-fab chimney or a brick chimney. There are several choices of materials when selecting a chase cover, but only Stainless Steel or Copper will offer you a Lifetime Warranty.
If you are looking to replace yours, you probably have lightweight aluminum or rusted galvanized steel. The cost difference is minimal between galvanized compared to stainless steel. Also, our stainless steel chase covers have a Lifetime Warranty against rust, corrosion and manufacturers defects.
We use and recommend stainless steel for its strength and ability to resist rust. Our chase covers are made of 24-gauge stainless steel, or 20 oz. copper, with welded seams. Our chase covers include diagonal creases on the top to prevent standing water and increase strength, choice of collar height, side skirts, and drip edges that flick the water away from the chase siding; all are no charge options. You can order them with any shaped hole(s) or without holes. There are thickness upgrades to 22 or 20 gauge stainless.

Steps included in the overview of the Stainless Steel Chase Cover Installation:
Step 1: Remove chimney flue cap on pipe using a chisel or angle grinder. This may take some work if the flue cap is rusted.
Step 2: Remove the storm collar using an angle grinder. Carefully cut it off the pipe.
Step 3: Remove the silicone around the pipe. Make a cut around the pipe, then start peeling the silicone off.
Step 4: Remove nails in the cover side skirt, remove the chase cover.
Step 5: Pre-drill holes on the chase cover skirt for the fasteners. For the chase cover size in this video, drill 3 holes in the long side of the chase cover, 2 holes 2 inches from each corner and 1 in the center .
Step 6: Place a shim off the top center of the chimney before putting on the chase cover. This ensures that the creases will not sag under heavy snow load.
Step 6: Install the chase cover and fasten.
Step 8: Place the storm collar around the pipe over the hole on the chase cover, tighten the worm gear. Seal the top edge of the storm collar where it meets the pipe with outdoor silicone.
Step 9: Install the chimney rain cap and fasten with a screw to prevent it blowing away.

Put some gloves on!🤣

[@SquirrelsForAll]

Great work! Oh man, your installer must have been a squirrel in a prior life. He made that look super easy. :)

[@raphael31153]

Don't forget to wear gloves. ;)

[@billparsons7732]

Should the cap have 1" spacers to elevate it above the chase framing to allow the chase to vent?

[@davidshettlesworth1442]

Thank you for this excellent educational video. I learned a great deal. Carry On!

[@SelenaT]

Hello. Should a CUSTOM chimney chase cover have an over hang and gasps? Thanks 🙏

[@Zoe-c9z]

I think everyone forgets their chimney because of its location😅especially in 150 yr old house needs tlc. Mine has no woodstove or fireplace and even if it is dangerous i like the look of it. It goes with the house😅 someone skim coated it in the attic but i have seen a brace online for masonry chimneys that looked like a hitch reciever tie system custom set up

[@Zoe-c9z]

I don't sleep in the room under the chimney 😅

[@thorshuatus]

Can water get in under the storm collar? Should that have been lowered down to the chase cover?

[@crunchyfoot9075]

No it’s fine if water gets under there since the pantop is angled to make the water run down instead of inwards it will not leak inside of the chase.

[@terry7893]

Yo, dude. How about EDITING THE VIDEO so we don't get motion sickness and vertigo, please.

[@luisbravo5797]

Any idea what labor cost is for install? Normal roof access and the chase runs between 600-800? Labor?

[@supercatforever]

how much did you charge for a job like this

[@alexnelson6196]

6:54 Homer.

[@Zoe-c9z]

Winslow😅

[@bboutte40]

I need help andin looks just like this one but it's got a bigger stack and is rusted bab!!!! Has taro and I need help;)) lol

[@Drippy_dripster]

So mine blew off along with the cap I’m assuming this will work to re attach it?

[@southernaire81]

Don't they make the caps that just sit on the chimney and dont need to be screwed down? Or do all of them need to be screwed down?

[@dadama66]

How old was the one you replaced? My Chimney Chase is 22 yrs old and looks pretty much as it did when it was installed.

[@Rockfordchim]

This one was about 19 years old

[@alpenglow1235]

With Stainless being what it is today, would hot galvanized be a better choice?

[@Rockfordchim]

We do not offer galvanized covers because they will rust over time and you will need to replace galvanized. We offer stainless steel covers along with a warranty against rust / corrosion.

[@ma7rix13]

Awesome video. How much should this cost? Just got quoted $2100.

[@Rockfordchim]

Our average cover costs between $300 - $600 in stainless steel. We have free shipping to the lower 48 states. You can use our Quick Quote tool to estimate your cover cost here: www.rockfordchimneysupply.com/chimney-chase-covers/stainless-steel-chase-covers

Nice clean work though I got a bit dizzy looking down your view

[@alexsinclaire1504]

Dude! Frightened the sh@t out of me lol

[@bran-qt7ds]

I had my cap replaced and they used 26 guage galvanized which I understand is thinner than recommended. I live in hot humid rainy South Florida, so I expect this may rust through after only a few years. Has anyone here ever painted one to make it last longer in hot climate? I'm considering it but thinking the very hot temperatures on metal might make the paint peel and bubble making things worse. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@mechanickb4350]

That looks like a pretty steep roof!

[@mariowoodsN5]

Great video, my chimney is leaking and continues to leak after the roof replacement from a hurricane in 2017, so now my homeowners says not their fault and the roofer says it’s on the inside of the chimney my problem, should I call u for a quote for a new cap?

[@cesara4979]

It's been a year since posted this comment. Did you fix it and what was it ??

[@mariowoodsN5]
