Chimney Cap & Fireplace Spark Arrester Screen (NFPA 211 / IRC R1003.9) is used for stopping burning embers from leaving the chimney and keeping birds and animals out, while letting flue gas draw freely.
How to Specify Chimney Cap & Fireplace Spark Arrester Screen
Opening size: Many codes require openings no larger than 1/2 in (12.7 mm) and no smaller than 3/8 in so the screen does not clog with soot.
Wire & alloy: SS304 or SS316 heavy wire survives flue heat and creosote; galvanized corrodes quickly.
Screen area: Free area of the screen should be at least four times the flue area so draft is not restricted.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Inspect the screen at every sweep; creosote glaze can close openings and choke the draft.
Fit the cap with stainless fasteners so it can be removed for sweeping.
Common Mistakes
Choosing insect-fine mesh, which blocks with soot and causes smoke spillage indoors.
Using galvanized screen on a wood stove, which scales and fails within a few seasons.
When Chimney Cap & Fireplace Spark Arrester Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not a flue liner or rain cap substitute, and not designed for high-temperature industrial stacks.
