Chimney end cap with condensate drain and external thread SOLINOX Ø200 (inox 304/304)

The chimney end cap with condensate drain SOLINOX Ø200 MALE is a functional bottom component of a flue system, serving at the same time as a tight end cap, a service node, and a safe condensate discharge point. This part is especially important in modern chimneys where moisture can form due to temperature swings and operating modes of heating appliances: without controlled drainage, condensate accumulates, accelerates deposit build-up, and shortens the service life of the entire system.

The product is made of high-quality stainless steel AISI 304 with a thickness of 0.5 mm. The designation inox 304/304 typically refers to double-wall solutions where both the inner and outer shells are made of 304 stainless steel—an optimal choice for stable operation, corrosion resistance, and a neat appearance. The end cap does not require painting, withstands thermal loads well, and maintains joint geometry when heated.

The MALE connection format means the cap has an “external” spigot end and is inserted into the matching female socket of the corresponding chimney component. The Ø200 diameter is selected to match your pipe/node size and allows correct integration without adapters and extra joints that can compromise tightness.

The key feature is the G ½ condensate drain. This is a standard thread that makes it easy to screw on a fitting and connect a regular hose to route condensate into a prepared container or a drain line (in accordance with installation rules and safety requirements). Controlled moisture discharge helps prevent leaks, unpleasant odors, “wet” deposits, and premature chimney wear.

The end cap also acts as a service element: when installed at the bottom of the system (often under a tee, near an inspection piece, or at the lowest point of the flue), it provides a convenient control point where it is easier to keep the system clean and remove moisture in time. This reduces the likelihood of unplanned maintenance and extends chimney service life.

SOLINOX Ø200 MALE benefits:

 - AISI 304 stainless steel, 0.5 mm thickness — strength and durability;

 - tight channel closure — protection against flue gas and condensate leakage;

 - G ½ condensate drain — simple, clear drainage with the option to connect a hose;

 - practical operation — quick to install, does not add excessive weight, simplifies service;

 - suitable for building a neat, serviceable Ø200 chimney line.

The SOLINOX condensate-drain end cap is a small but critical component: it makes chimney operation cleaner and more controlled, helps maintain hygiene, protects the system from moisture, and improves overall heating reliability.
