DuraVent DirectVent Pro Vertical Wind Guard: extra wind protection over the roof cap
The DuraVent DirectVent Pro Vertical Wind Guard is a wind shield for a roof vent cap. It attaches with four screws when the High Wind Termination Cap needs added wind protection. It fits only that cap, including the one in kits with two flexible chimney liners. One guard fits both 4 by 6 5/8 inch and 5 by 8 inch vents. DirectVent Pro is DuraVent’s pipe inside a pipe vent for direct vent gas fireplaces and stoves: exhaust goes out through the inner pipe and outside air comes in through the outer pipe.
Wind, tall trees, a taller nearby roofline, or a steep roof can hinder exhaust flow or push it back down. Roof slope also determines which flashing, the piece covering the roof opening, you need. Roofing overlaps its upper edge. Every flashing needs a storm collar above it, sealed to the pipe with non hardening sealant. The roof cap twist locks onto pipe standing at least 1 foot above the roof, higher on steeper roofs. Need the matching cap? See the DuraVent DirectVent Pro High Wind Termination Cap. The DuraVent DirectVent Pro Vertical Wind Guard ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
