SEAL TIGHT Chimney Dampers are made for use only with open woodburning masonry fireplace chimneys and are NOT suitable for use in the following types of installations:

• Don’t use on chimneys serving vented gas logs. Vented gas logs require the fireplace damper to be removed completely or fixed to a permanently open position; this is to assure that soot, fumes and carbon monoxide do not enter your home.
• Use only on vent-free gas logs if approved by the appliance manufacturer and the local authority having jurisdiction. However, we don’t recommend it because the moisture generated from the gas logs could damage the chimney structure.
• Don’t use on chimneys serving other fuels, wood stoves or other appliances such as inserts, furnaces, etc.

INSTALLATION

SEAL TIGHT Dampers can be installed by homeowners who feel comfortable working on a roof, but U.S. Fireplace Products, Inc. strongly recommends you use the services of a qualified chimney sweep who can also inspect your chimney and provide other valuable home safety services.

The SEAL TIGHT damper attaches to the top of the flue tile on fireplace chimneys. Our models are sized by common flue tiles and available in 7 Sizes:

The ENERGY TOP and Energy Top+ Dampers are a top mounted damper that also serves as a chimney cap. When closed, this low profile damper is a great solution for saving “paid” energy dollars for historical homes with leaky or missing dampers.

The Energy Top is now available with the added protection of a built in Stainless Steel Cap. It comes completely assembled as one unit and it’s called Energy Top Plus.  The Energy Top Plus, when closed, seals out rain, snow and sleet while sealing in “paid” heat and air conditioning. When open it has the protection of a conventional chimney cap.
