Lock Top II Chimney Damper

The Lock Top II Chimney Damper With Cap is the perfect solution for cold & drafty wood burning fireplaces. There's no question, old traditional metal fireplace throat dampers tend to be very leaky even when the damper is closed. Save money by installing the Lock Top Chimney Damper. As a matter of fact, a traditional masonry fireplace throat damper will leak $200 or more of energy a year. However, the Lock Top II Chimney Damper is equipped with a silicone gasket under the lid which makes for an extremely tight seal when closed. After installation, you will no longer feel a draft when the fireplace is not being used. Features Not only will this damper prevent downdrafts and energy loss, it is also equipped with a single flue chimney cap with 3/4" spark arrestor to prevent sparks from exiting the chimney while also providing weather protection. The cap will also prevent critters from entering the chimney if you forget to close the damper after you have had a fire. The cap is removable from the damper for cleaning and maintenance. A Sweep's Ring is included with the Lock Top II Damper Cap. Specifically, the Sweep's Ring allows you to fully remove the damper without having to cut the adhesive that holds the damper to the flue. The Sweep's Ring Gasket will attach to the flue with the included adhesive.  Lastly, the damper will bolt to the Sweep's Ring gasket. Moreover, the Lock Top II Chimney Damper includes 30 ft. cable, adhesive, mounting hardware, and a Lifetime Warranty. The heavy duty stainless steel cable withstands extreme temperatures, it will not burn out. The base is constructed of heavy duty cast aluminum and the lid from stainless steel. Overall, the hardware you will need to install the Lock Top II Damper is included. For that reason, the only tools you will need to install the damper are a pair of wire cutters, drill, 1/4" masonry drill bit, and a hammer. Removable lid 3/4" spark arrestor 30 ft. stainless steel cable Mounting hardware Sweep's Ring Adhesive Lifetime Warranty Operating Your Lock Top Chimney Damper Firstly, mount the Lock Top II Chimney Damper on the top of your chimney flue. Secondly, adjust the chain handle to the bracket you mount on the fireplace wall. Lastly, lock the cable in the fireplace bracket when you want to close the damper and release the cable from the bracket to allow the damper to spring open when you are ready to have a fire.  Most important, this is intended for use with traditional masonry wood burning fireplaces. In addition, do not use with gas appliances or gas logs. Note: Do not use Lock-Top II dampers with gas logs (failure to open the damper for gas burning appliances could result in carbon monoxide to back up in the home. Also, in the event of a gas leak, could result in gas being trapped in the chimney which could result in an explosion.)

Secondly, you will attach the energy-saving Lock-Top damper to the square (top) of the RS adapter.
