Hart Cooley 8rcw B-vent Rain Cap 8 Inch Round

Product Description

The HART COOLEY 8rcw is an 8-inch round snap-lock rain cap designed for use with Type B gas vent systems. It mounts at the top of a B-vent flue to block rain, debris, and downdrafts from entering the vent while allowing combustion gases to exhaust freely. The snap-lock design allows secure attachment without separate fasteners. This cap is a standard component in residential and light commercial gas appliance venting systems, typically installed by HVAC technicians or plumbers during new construction or service work.

The 8rcw is sized for 8-inch diameter Type B double-wall gas vent pipe. Type B vent systems are commonly used with natural gas and propane appliances including furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and unit heaters that require Category I venting. The snap-lock attachment method is compatible with standard B-vent pipe termination fittings and is suited for rooftop terminations on residential and light commercial structures.

Key Features

• 8-inch diameter sizing for standard Type B double-wall gas vent pipe
• Round snap-lock design secures to vent pipe termination without additional fasteners
• Rain cap profile deflects precipitation and prevents debris entry into the flue

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber in accordance with the appliance manufacturer instructions and local mechanical or fuel gas codes, including IFGC requirements for vent termination height and clearances. Shut off the gas supply and allow the appliance to cool before servicing the vent system. Ensure the cap is fully snapped and seated on the vent pipe collar before returning the appliance to service. Verify the termination height above the roof meets local code requirements.
