Master Flow Safety Cap Leg Kits
Key Features of Master Flow® Safety Cap Leg Kits
1. Extra Support for Installation on Irregular Surfaces
Colorado’s chimneys are built using various materials, from traditional brick and mortar in historic homes in Boulder County to newer prefabricated chimneys in the suburban developments of Douglas County. These surfaces can sometimes be uneven, making it challenging to achieve a secure fit when installing chimney caps.
How the LKSS Leg Kit Helps:
- Provides stability on uneven flue surfaces, such as chimneys in older homes near historic sites in Denver County, where settling has caused irregularities.
- Ensures a snug fit, even on chimneys with non-standard shapes or custom-built masonry, commonly found in scenic areas like Telluride in San Miguel County.
- It reduces movement and rattling caused by high winds, frequent issues in exposed areas such as Elbert County on the Eastern Plains.
2. Compatibility with Various Safety Cap Models
The Master Flow® LKSS Leg Kit is designed to work seamlessly with various chimney caps, making it a versatile option for homeowners and businesses in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and beyond.
Compatible Models Include:
| Safety Cap Model | Size Range | Ideal Application |
|---|---|---|
| CC99 | 7½” x 7½” – 9½” x 9½” | Small residential chimneys in rural counties like Park County. |
| CC913 | 7½” x 11½” – 9½” x 13½” | Medium-sized chimneys in growing urban areas like Arapahoe County. |
| CC1313 | 11½” x 11½” – 13½” x 13½” | Large homes and commercial properties in tourist-heavy areas like Eagle County. |
| CC1313SS | Stainless steel option | Chimneys in high-moisture areas near lakes and rivers like Mesa County. |
Why Compatibility Matters:
- Colorado counties feature diverse architectural styles, requiring adaptable solutions for different chimney types.
- A perfect fit across multiple cap sizes reduces the need for costly adjustments and custom installations.
Why Colorado Homeowners and Businesses Need Safety Cap Leg Kits
From the ski resorts in Pitkin County to the agricultural lands of Weld County, chimneys are exposed to various environmental factors that can affect their stability. The Master Flow® Safety Cap Leg Kits provide added peace of mind by offering:
1. Protection Against Harsh Weather
Colorado’s climate can be unforgiving, with strong winds, heavy snowfall, and sudden temperature fluctuations. To prevent damage, a chimney cap must remain firmly in place.
How the LKSS Leg Kit Helps in Colorado Counties:
- Wind Resistance: Prevents chimney caps from loosening or detaching during windstorms in counties such as Bent and Baca, which experience gusts of over 60 mph.
- Snow Load Support: This provides additional protection against heavy snowfall in counties like Gunnison and Lake, where snowfall can exceed 200 inches annually.
- Heat Expansion Compensation: The LKSS leg kit allows minor adjustments as chimney materials expand and contract due to Colorado’s rapid temperature changes.
2. Wildlife and Debris Protection
Many Colorado counties, such as Larimer and Boulder, are home to wildlife that often seeks shelter in chimneys. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons are known to nest in chimneys, causing blockages and potential fire hazards.
How the LKSS Leg Kit Helps:
- Strengthens the chimney cap, preventing animals from dislodging or entering the flue.
- It helps keep out wind-blown debris in forested areas like Routt County, such as leaves and twigs.
- Reduces the risk of pests making a home inside the chimney, particularly in rural and mountainous counties.
3. Ensuring Compliance with Local Fire Codes
With wildfire risk prevalent in counties such as Jefferson and El Paso, chimney caps must meet local fire safety regulations. The LKSS Leg Kit helps ensure proper installation, reducing the likelihood of sparks escaping and igniting nearby vegetation.
How It Helps in Fire-Prone Counties:
- It provides a firm attachment that minimizes gaps or loose fittings, essential for homes in the wildfire-prone areas of Larimer and Douglas counties.
- Supports spark arrestors in complying with local ordinances to prevent ember escape.
