A Chimney Without A Cap Allows Moisture From Rain And Snow To Be Absorbed Into Your The Inner Flue Tile, Outer Bricks And Mortar. When This Trapped Moisture Goes Through A Freeze/Thaw Cycle, The Integrity Of The Chimneys Structure Becomes Compromised, Creating A Safety Hazard. Home Heating And Cooling Costs Can Escalate When A Proper Damper Is Not Installed, Allowing Air To Escape Through The Chimney Flue. At The Same Time, Wildlife, Insects And Debris Can Create Further Hazards Inside An Uncovered Chimney Flue. The Seal Tight Damper Seals Out Rain, Snow, And Sleet While Sealing In Paid Heat And Air Conditioning. In Its Closed Position, It Is Virtually Invisible From The Ground. The Seal Tight Damper Doesnt Require A Chimney Fire Safety Device, Cutting Costs And Saving Time! Designed With A Two Part, High-Tech Gasket System, This Damper Provides An Extremely Effective Air Tight Seal By Utilizing A Liquid Gasket, Which Hardens To Form An Efficient Seal. The Primary Gasket Sits In A Channel Inside The Damper Frame, While The Secondary, Liquid Gasket, Sits Underneath The Front Portion Of The Damper Lid. These Two Gaskets Provide The Most Efficient Seal Possible!
