About this asset

This cylindrical chimney cap with deflector is a functional Revit family designed for precise integration into building roof systems. The component features a clean, cylindrical geometry finished in a matte black coating, typical of industrial flue or ventilation terminations. It consists of a primary vertical shaft topped with a slightly wider deflector section, designed to prevent rain ingress while maintaining airflow. The proportions are straightforward and utilitarian, suitable for detailed roof plans or exterior building elevations where standard mechanical components are required. The form is intentionally minimal, focusing on clear, geometric lines that represent common metal chimney or vent stacks found in both residential and light industrial applications.

The download is a 328 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users can load this family into a project as a generic model or mechanical equipment component. Once placed on a roof or wall plane, the geometry can be adjusted to align with specific flue diameters or height requirements. Materials can be updated via the family type parameters to match project-specific metal finishes or painted cladding systems. The model is lightweight, ensuring minimal impact on overall file performance when used in large-scale building models or multiple roof termination points.

This chimney cap is intended for use in residential, commercial, or industrial building projects during the design development or construction documentation phases. It is ideal for visualising roof-level mechanical details, coordinating flue penetrations with roof structures, or populating exterior renders. Architects and engineers will find it useful for documenting ventilation stacks, chimney terminations, or exhaust systems. It pairs effectively with other roof-mounted accessories and can be specified in projects requiring standard mechanical detailing for building services and HVAC coordination.
