FAQs

What is the main benefit of this chimney liner cowl?

The primary benefit is its revolutionary installation method, which allows it to be fitted onto a flexible flue without the need to remove the chimney pot.

What material is the cowl made from?

It is manufactured entirely from high-quality stainless steel for durability and resistance to the elements.

What sizes are available?

The chimney liner cowl is available in 5" (125mm) and 6" (150mm) sizes.

Does it come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, it includes strap fixing kits for connecting to both the chimney liner and the chimney pot.

Will the brown colour be noticeable?

Can this cowl be used with a rigid flue liner?

This specific model is designed for flexible flue systems. Please refer to other B&Q products for rigid flue compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Cowl feels loose after installation.

Re-tighten the strap fixing kits. Ensure the cowl is properly centered on the pot and the straps are adequately tensioned around both the liner and the pot.

Incorrect size cowl ordered.

Verify the diameter of your flexible flue liner. If the wrong size was purchased, replacement may be necessary. Consult the product packaging or retailer for exchange policies.

Strap fixing kit is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the strap is routed correctly through the buckle. Try applying even pressure on both ends of the strap as you tighten. If a strap is damaged, contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
