Chimney Cap Position - Nordica ROSA Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

5.1. CHIMNEY CAP POSITION

The draught of the flue depends also on the suitability of the chimney cap.
Therefore, if it is handicraft constructed, the output section must be more than twice as big as the internal
section of the flue.
Should it be necessary to exceed the ridge of the roof, the chimney cap must assure the discharge also in
case of windy weather (Picture 4).
