Field Controls sk-7g 7 Inch Star Cap

Product Description

The FIELD CONTROLS sk-7g is a 7-inch star cap designed to terminate vent pipe openings on residential and light commercial installations. Star caps provide weather protection at the flue exit point, preventing rain, debris, and wind-driven downdrafts from entering the vent system. Installed at the top of a B-vent, single-wall, or compatible vent pipe, this cap helps maintain proper draft conditions and protects the flue system from moisture intrusion. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers typically install this fitting as part of a new vent run or as a direct replacement for a damaged cap.

The sk-7g is suited for 7-inch vent pipe terminations on gas appliance venting systems in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include furnace flue terminations, water heater venting, and other natural-draft vent systems requiring a secure, weather-resistant cap at the pipe outlet. It is installed where the vent pipe exits through a roof or sidewall opening at the required clearance height per applicable code.

Installation Notes

Installation of this vent cap should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the gas supply and allow the vent system to cool completely before removing or installing any vent components. Ensure the cap is secured firmly to the pipe termination to prevent movement or dislodgement. Confirm the installed cap clears all required distances from roof surfaces, obstructions, and combustion air openings per applicable code.
