Storm collars are installed around flue pipes to prevent water entry. They are typically used where the pipes terminate above chase covers or above flashing boots that are secured to roof systems.
If you are going to replace a chase cover it’s also a good time to consider replacing the storm collar. A storm collar only has one job: keep the water out of your chimney! They come in stainless or galvanized steel and are made in the USA. As with the stainless steel covers, we recommend the stainless steel storm collars because they will not rust and they come with a lifetime warranty. If you have any questions as to how a storm collar works, please contact us and ask.
