SOLINOX chimney terminal wind deflector Ø200 (inox 304)

The SOLINOX Ø200 “wind cap” chimney termination made of inox 304 stainless steel is a top protective element installed on the chimney head, helping the flue system operate reliably in any weather. The wind cap’s primary role is to reduce the impact of gusty winds on flue-gas discharge, protect the flue from precipitation and debris, and lower the risk of backdraft. For houses, saunas/bathhouses, and boiler rooms located in open areas, this solution often becomes not an “extra,” but an essential part of dependable and safe smoke extraction.

The SOLINOX wind cap is made from AISI 304 (inox 304) stainless steel, which performs well in humid environments, withstands temperature fluctuations, and is suitable for long-term outdoor use. Stainless steel does not require painting, maintains its appearance, and offers strong corrosion resistance—making the termination appropriate for year-round operation. The Ø200 diameter is a common size for larger-section chimneys where high flow capacity and stable draft under higher loads are important.

Why it’s worth installing a wind cap on a Ø200 chimney:

Protection from rain and snow. Precipitation does not enter the flue directly, which helps reduce condensate formation and “wet” deposits.

Draft stabilization in windy conditions. The wind cap lowers the likelihood of wind blow-back and helps maintain negative pressure inside the flue.

Prevention of backdraft and smoke spillage. Especially relevant during sudden weather changes, strong gusts, and when flue-gas temperatures are low.

Protection from debris and leaves. The chimney top clogs less, making it easier to keep the system in working order.

A neat finish. The chimney head looks complete and aesthetically tidy.

The wind cap is designed so airflow does not “block” flue-gas discharge or create unfavorable turbulence at the chimney head. This supports more predictable operation: draft fluctuates less, and heating equipment reaches a stable working mode more easily. As a result, day-to-day comfort improves and the risk of weather-related issues is reduced.

The SOLINOX Ø200 termination is compatible with modular stainless-steel chimney systems and installs on the upper section of a matching Ø200 pipe. For proper performance, follow installation recommendations: secure the element firmly, check assembly stability after installation, and periodically inspect the chimney head (especially after storm winds and heavy snowfall). Regular checks of the top zone are a simple way to maintain safe and efficient flue operation.

SOLINOX Ø200 (inox 304) wind cap advantages:

 - AISI 304 stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and weather exposure;

 - protection of the chimney head from precipitation and debris;

 - reduced wind impact and improved draft stability;

 - durability and a clean, tidy chimney appearance;

 - a practical solution for private houses, saunas/bathhouses, and boiler rooms.

If you need a reliable Ø200 chimney termination that protects the pipe and helps keep draft stable even in windy weather, the SOLINOX inox 304 wind cap is a sound choice for a durable and safe system.
