18" DuraTech Storm Collar: Weather-Proof Protection for Chimneys

The DuraTech Storm Collar is a crucial component for ensuring your chimney system remains weather-proof and functional. Designed to be used with DuraTech flashing, this storm collar creates a secure penetration through the roof deck, providing a reliable barrier against the elements. Its unique design slips around the pipe just above the flashing, ensuring a seamless and effective seal. The collar's inner edge is sealed to the chimney pipe using a high-temperature, non-hardening sealant that can withstand up to 500° F, guaranteeing long-lasting performance in all weather conditions.

Key Product Features and Specifications

Crafted from durable materials, the DuraTech Storm Collar is built to withstand the demands of all-fuel chimney systems. It is compatible with a wide range of appliances, including wood stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, boilers, ranges, and water heaters. The collar features a Thermal Tech blanket insulation encased between dual walls, offering superior safety and performance. This insulation keeps the outer wall cool while ensuring high flue gas temperatures for optimal draft performance. The inner wall is 25% thicker than competitive chimneys, providing an extra margin of safety. DuraTech chimney systems are rigorously tested and listed for continuous operation at 1000° F flue gas temperatures, one hour at 1400° F, and ten minutes at 1700° F, in accordance with the UL 103 test standard.
