Chimney cowl gas

[Caroline Higgins]

Chimney cowl ..I’m not sure whether this is the right place for this question
I’ve got 3 chimney pots . 2 closed and one for a gas fire . I have included a photo of the pots with the cowls.. my question is about the cowl on the crown chimney which is for a gas fire. Is it correct . I was told it’s ok resting on the points and that the spaces between the points will be enough . Thank-you

Gas flue terminals are designed to create draw as well as protect the vent opening from the elements and debris.
The only way you can be sure is for a gas engineer to do a test on the flue and advise on the size and type of terminal you need for the size of the appliance.

It certainly wouldn't be deemed correct if anything went wrong.

Cat lad Thankyou for the reply however I’m trying to find out if it’s right before it goes wrong
