Chimney draft improvement with the "Strażak" cap

Are you looking for a way to improve the draft in your chimney? A chimney cap, commonly known as "Strażak" (firefighter), is a solution that utilizes wind energy to assist natural ventilation. The Strażak acid-resistant model fi 160mm from PRODMAX, made of high-quality acid-resistant steel 1.4404, is designed for mounting on chimney ducts with a diameter of 160 mm. Its design allows it to face into the wind, shielding the chimney opening and creating a vacuum, which effectively improves the draft.

This model can be used in both ventilation and flue gas systems – with the proviso that it should not be used with smoke ducts fired with solid fuels (coal, slack, pea coal). It can be safely mounted on a chimney connected to a wood-burning fireplace. The Strażak is available in a wide range of diameters (from fi 100 to fi 350 mm), and the KJ30/160 version is equipped with a sleeve bearing ensuring smooth rotation.

Construction and installation

The Strażak cap has been designed with durability and ease of installation in mind. Made of acid-resistant steel, it is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and weather conditions. Installation is simple and does not require specialized tools – simply place the cap on the chimney duct of the appropriate diameter. Remember to position the cap correctly in relation to the prevailing wind direction for optimal efficiency.

Application and benefits

• Improved draft: Increases combustion and ventilation efficiency by utilizing wind energy.
• Versatility: Suitable for ventilation and flue gas chimneys (excluding smoke ducts for solid fuels).
• Durability: Made of acid-resistant steel 1.4404 guarantees corrosion resistance and long life.
• Easy installation: Simple construction allows for quick and trouble-free installation.
• Protection against the weather: Shields the chimney opening from rain, snow and strong winds.

It is worth considering installing the Strażak cap if you notice problems with insufficient draft in your chimney or want to improve the efficiency of your ventilation or flue gas system. However, remember to follow safety precautions and check compatibility with your chimney system.
