Choosing the metal for a chase top

Fireplace manuals give a minimum metal for the chase top, and on one major maker's drawing that minimum is a light galvanized sheet. A minimum is only the floor. A flat sheet that holds any water uses up its zinc coat fast, so for a chase in Mayport our starting proposal is stainless steel in a heavier gauge, with copper where the look matters to the owner. If a painted or coated finish is chosen for color, it is listed too, with a note that the metal underneath is what sets how long the top lasts. Rust spots or a drip under the chase in Mayport mean the top should be checked, and our sheet metal pros do that for free at (904) 920-5495.

Mayport is one of the named neighborhoods of Jacksonville. Mayport falls within Duval County.

How It Works

What our sheet metal specialists do on Mayport chases

Chase and pipe measured
On the free visit we measure the outside of the chase over the siding and read the fireplace model from its plate or manual.
A top made to your chase
The cover is formed with cross-breaks or a pitch, a skirt with a drip edge and a raised collar sized to your pipe.
Old top off, new top fastened
We pull the old cover and check the framing, then fasten the new top through its skirt and clamp a sealed storm collar at the pipe.
Hose test before we leave
Water run over the new top has to leave from every edge. If it puddles anywhere, we reshape it before the job is done.

Storm collars and where the sealant goes

A storm collar is a tapered metal band clamped around the pipe a short way above the chase top collar. Its skirt overlaps the collar so rain running down the pipe is thrown outward onto the top.

Where the sealant goes depends on the model, and its installation steps say so. One maker calls for waterproof caulk where the storm collar meets the pipe; another also seals the joint between the storm collar and the chase top. None of them fill the open ring around the pipe at the collar. After a new cover goes on, we fit a new storm collar or refit the old one if it is sound, and set it snug.

Clearance inside the chase

Factory-built chimneys are listed with a required air space between the pipe and anything combustible, including framing and insulation. One manual for a common chimney series states 2 inches. When a chase top is off, the top of that space is visible, and it is a good time to check that insulation has not slumped against the pipe and that a previous repair did not add framing too close to it.

Anything inside that clearance is pulled back or noted. The same manual calls for ceiling firestops at each floor of the chase or every 10 feet of height, and a missing one is written up for the chase repair.

Color finishes and what sits under them

Some owners want the chase top to match the roof or the trim. Painted and powder-coated finishes can be ordered on several metals, and the color is chosen with you. The finish is cosmetic. It protects the surface until it is scratched, chipped by a ladder or worn at a fold, and after that the metal underneath is what resists the weather.

So we choose the metal and gauge for the exposure first and add the color second, rather than letting a paint finish stand in for a better metal. A touch-up of chips during later chimney service keeps the finish looking right.

FAQ

Before you order a new chase top

Can you order a chase cover from my measurements?

We measure on the roof ourselves. The cover has to fit over the finished siding and match the pipe positions exactly, and small errors leave gaps where water gets in.

Does my chimney have a chase cover?

If the chimney is a framed box finished like your walls, with a metal pipe and cap at the top, it has one. Brick and block chimneys end in a crown instead.
