Why fireplace makers require a chase top
Factory-built chimney makers write the chase top into their installation instructions. The installers manual for one widely sold wood-burning fireplace series states that a chase top must be used in a chase installation, that it may be built in the field and that it must be made of noncombustible material.
Under Florida's residential code, a factory-built chimney is installed, and ends at the top, exactly as its manufacturer's instructions describe. In practice, a replacement cover should follow the same details the chimney maker describes. We read the fireplace label where it can be reached and follow the instructions for that system.
The termination cap stays matched to the chimney system
The cap on top of the chimney pipe is part of the listed chimney system, not a generic accessory. Installation instructions call for the cap approved and listed for that fireplace, and Florida's residential code allows a decorative shroud at the termination only where it is listed for that specific chimney.
Replacing the chase cover does not change which cap belongs on the pipe. We check the existing cap for damage and fit and refit it when it is sound. If it needs replacing, we identify the correct listed part rather than substituting a cap made for a masonry flue.
Decorative shrouds on factory-built chimneys
Some homeowners want a decorative top that hides the round cap of a factory-built chimney. Florida's residential code permits a decorative shroud on top of a factory-built chimney only when that shroud carries a listing and label for the exact chimney system and goes on as the manufacturer's instructions direct.
An unlisted shroud can change how the chimney behaves at the top. If you want a different look, we find out whether a listed shroud exists for your system and explain what it would involve. The chase cover underneath still needs its own slope, collar and drip edge.
Chase covers over a gas fireplace vent
Some chases enclose the vent pipe of a gas fireplace instead of, or alongside, a wood-burning chimney. That vent has its own listed termination and its own manufacturer's instructions, and the opening and collar in the cover have to suit it.
We identify each pipe that passes through the cover before a replacement is ordered. The cover is then made to fit around every vent and chimney in the chase without changing how any of them terminates.
