Tapco 70530-0200 Escape Cap

Product Description

The TAPCO 70530-0200 is an escape cap designed for use in venting applications where a secure, weather-resistant termination point is required. Escape caps serve as the terminal fitting at the end of a vent or exhaust run, preventing backdraft, moisture intrusion, and pest entry while allowing combustion gases or exhaust air to exit freely. This component is installed by HVAC technicians and plumbers working on residential or light commercial venting systems.

Escape caps are commonly used on direct-vent, natural-draft, or exhaust vent terminations that penetrate an exterior wall or roofline. This cap is suited for installations where the vent outlet must be protected from wind-driven rain, debris, and animals. It is a replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a properly terminated vent exit point.

Key Features

• Provides a weather-resistant termination for vent and exhaust runs
• Designed to prevent backdraft and reverse airflow at the vent exit
• Blocks moisture, debris, and pest entry at the vent termination point
• Intended as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install escape cap fitting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement escape cap for compatible venting systems. Verify vent diameter, wall thickness, and termination requirements before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or plumber in accordance with local mechanical codes and the appliance manufacturer's instructions. Shut down and lock out the connected appliance before removing or installing any vent termination fitting. Confirm the cap orientation and sealing method meet local code requirements for the specific venting application.
