What is the purpose of the hood?

Troubleshooting

Cowl does not feel secure

Ensure the compressible legs are fully released inside the chimney pot and that the pot's internal diameter is within the specified range (200mm-250mm).

Difficulty inserting cowl

Gently compress the legs further and ensure no obstructions are present within the chimney pot opening.

Rain is still entering the chimney

Verify that the solid hood is positioned correctly and that no damage has occurred to the hood structure.

Cowl appears to be the wrong size

Double-check the internal diameter of your chimney pot and compare it against the product's specified compatibility range (200mm-250mm).
