DuraVent DuraLiner Extend-A-Cap Kit: the plate and cap set for your chimney top
The DuraVent DuraLiner Extend-A-Cap Kit is a plate and cap set for the top of a masonry chimney. The base plate rests on the chimney’s top and carries the liner’s weight. It comes with a clamp to hold the pipe during lowering, a storm collar to seal around the pipe, and a cap. The liner pipe is sold separately. DuraLiner is DuraVent’s factory insulated double wall pipe for relining a masonry chimney that vents a wood, pellet, coal, oil, or gas appliance.
Choose a 6 or 8 inch size, then a base plate that covers your chimney top. For round pipe, the plates measure 13 by 13 or 13 by 18 inches. For oval pipe, they measure 13 by 20 or 10 by 22 inches. These are plate dimensions, not extension heights. The liner must stand 6 inches above the masonry, with no joint above the clamp. The clamp is tightened last. Four screws release the cap’s top for chimney sweeping. Only replacing the cap? See the DuraVent DuraLiner Oval Termination Cap replacement top. The DuraVent DuraLiner Extend-A-Cap Kit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is the DuraLiner Extend-A-Cap Kit for?
It terminates a DuraLiner relining system at the top of a masonry chimney. The kit contains the Base Plate that sits on the chimney crown, a Support Clamp that carries the weight of the liner, a Storm Collar and the Cap; the DuraLiner pipe itself is not included. Choose 6 or 8 inch and then the extension length on the selectors above.
What do the 13, 18, 20 and 22 inch length options mean?
They are the height the Extend-A-Cap carries the liner above the masonry crown. DuraVent requires the liner to extend at least 6 inches above the top of the masonry, and the finished termination still has to meet code height: 3 feet above the roof penetration and 2 feet above anything within 10 feet, so pick the extension that gets the cap there.
How does the kit attach to the chimney?
The masonry top must be level so the Base Plate seats flat and seals; the clamp bolts are set so the pipe just passes through, then tightened once the liner is at its final height, with a DuraLiner joint sitting above the clamp. DuraLiner sections are joined with the stainless pop rivets supplied, not screws, and the Storm Collar and Cap finish the top.
Does this kit work with rigid and flexible DuraLiner?
Yes, it terminates either. Rigid DuraLiner is double-wall and factory insulated, listed for 0 inch clearance to the masonry and 0 inch from the masonry to combustibles; DuraLiner flex needs 1 inch to the masonry, or the insulation kit for zero clearance. Both use the same 304 stainless inner liner in 6 and 8 inch sizes.
Which appliances can vent through DuraLiner?
DuraLiner is listed to UL 1777 and ULC S635 for appliances burning gas, wood pellets, oil, wood or coal, and it is the DuraVent liner for high-heat wood-burning inserts and stoves where zero clearance or oval pipe is needed. Match the liner diameter to the appliance outlet and have the masonry inspected and cleaned by a certified sweep before relining.
What else do I need besides the cap kit?
The liner run itself: rigid DuraLiner lengths or flex, a stove connector or tee at the bottom, and, for flex above the first flue tile, the DuraLiner Insulation Kit. Subtract 1-1/2 inches of overlap per joint when working out length. The rest of the system is in the DuraLiner category; keep the vent path as straight as possible.
