Universal Damper Kit
Improve draft control and efficiency with a precision-engineered Butterfly Chimney Damper from Chicagoland Fireplace & Chimney Restoration. Built for safety, airflow balance, and lasting durability.

The Round Cap Damper – Air Insulated 1/2 is a compact chimney solution that combines a top-mounted damper and cold-weather protection in one streamlined unit. Designed for homes in freezing climates or areas with seasonal moisture, this cap helps prevent ice buildup, moisture entry, and energy loss—all while maintaining airflow efficiency when your fireplace is in use.
Its smaller 1/2 configuration is perfect for narrower flues, retrofit applications, or installations where height restrictions or architectural preferences call for a low-profile solution.
The key feature of this damper cap is its air-insulated shell, which buffers against rapid temperature shifts and helps protect internal chimney components from freezing rain, snow, and condensation. The built-in damper adds energy efficiency—sealing off the flue when the fireplace isn’t in use and preventing downdrafts, heat loss, and wildlife entry.
This all-in-one design delivers strong draft control while shielding the flue from seasonal wear and tear.
Despite its smaller size, the Round Cap Damper – Air Insulated 1/2 offers full functionality for wood-burning and gas fireplace systems. It installs easily on round flue liners and is compatible with cable-pull or chain-operated damper systems. The lid’s rounded design encourages rain and snow to shed off, helping preserve airflow year-round.
Its balanced form makes it an easy upgrade for homes that need chimney protection without adding visual bulk to the roofline.
The Round Cap Damper – Air Insulated 1/2 provides a practical, compact answer to common chimney concerns—moisture, draft inefficiency, energy loss, and freezing conditions. Its dual-purpose construction makes it a smart choice for anyone updating or optimizing their fireplace system with year-round durability in mind.
Whether you’re outfitting a mountain cabin, updating a suburban home, or completing a cold-climate build, this chimney cap brings safety, efficiency, and protection to the top of your flue.
