About this asset

Designed for rooftop flue terminations, this grey metal chimney cowl Revit family features a segmented cylindrical body with a protective rain cap. Modelled as a functional flue cowl terminal, the unit displays a stepped cylindrical profile engineered to sit atop chimney masonry or flues. It comprises a straight base connector, an expanded conical deflector shroud, and a flat protective upper rain disc spaced to maintain clear flue gas exhaust. Finished in an unobtrusive neutral grey metal tone, the cowl presents clean, utilitarian geometry that integrates smoothly into architectural roofscapes. The streamlined design prevents downdraught and rain ingress without adding excessive visual mass to residential or commercial chimney caps.

The download is a 696 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.

In Revit, load the RFA file directly into your project to populate exterior roof details and coordinated MEP flue schedules. Position the family on chimney tops, chase caps, or penetration curbings, aligning elevation offsets with overall stack heights. Standard material parameters allow assignment of specific sheet metals, galvanized zinc, or painted finishes to align with project specifications across architectural elevations and technical roof plans.

Well-suited for residential houses, multi-family housing, and countryside hospitality retreats, this cowl provides essential realism to chimney tops and mechanical exhaust systems. Architects specify chimney terminals, roof cowls, and metal flue caps when documenting detailed exterior building envelopes or rendering accurate rooflines. It coordinates effortlessly with slate tiles, standing seam metal roofing, timber cladding, and rendered brick chimneys in both planning submissions and photorealistic visualisations.
