Abstract

Improved extended chimney cover for installation on a masonry chimney. The Extended Plinth ( 106 ) is substantially elongated vertically to allow termination at a varied level from adjacent flues. Above Extended Plinth ( 106 ) is a Screen or Open area ( 108 ) which allows for flue gas exhaust. A solid vertical Deflector ( 110 ) can optionally be installed along one face of the Screen or Open area to further protect adjacent flues from effects of the flue gases.

1 . A chimney cover for reducing smoke crossover to and from adjacent flues comprising: 
 means for extending the effective vertical termination height of the flue; and    means for deflecting exhaust gases away from adjacent flues; and    means for mounting and sealing to flue tile or existing masonry; and    means for exhausting the flue gases to the atmosphere.    
   
   
       2 . The chimney cover in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for extending the vertical termination height of the flue comprises a fixed or telescoping vertically extended plinth.  
   
   
       3 . The chimney cover in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means 
 to deflect the exhaust gases away from adjacent flues comprises a vertical deflector.
