Chimney Cap Revit Family Downloads and Resources

On a chimney, WEATHERCAP® is installed in mortar or sealant joints, particularly at the crown or where the chimney meets the roofline. Its flexible lead construction absorbs movement and protects the underlying sealant from UV degradation and weather, preventing water intrusion that can lead to costly masonry damage and spalling.

Our Revit library includes models for our core products, such as Type A (Flat Cap) and Type B (90° Cove Cap) configurations. These families are designed to represent various application-specific solutions for copings, cornices, window sills, and other masonry details, allowing for accurate architectural representation.

Absolutely. WEATHERCAP® is ideal for historic restoration and is specified in the U.S. GSA's Historic Preservation Technical Procedures. Its ability to protect vulnerable, aging masonry from moisture penetration while accommodating building settlement makes it a preferred choice for preserving landmark structures.

In addition to Revit (.rfa) files, we provide standard CAD drawings, typically in .dwg or .dxf formats. We also offer comprehensive technical data sheets and sample specifications in PDF format to support architects and engineers throughout the design and documentation process. Please contact us with your specific format requirements.

To specify our product, you can reference the specific WEATHERCAP® model (e.g., A-4, B-6) and its configuration in your construction drawings and specifications. We provide sample specifications and technical data to ensure all necessary information for proper installation and material requirements is included in your documents.

Yes, WEATHERCAP® is highly effective for new construction projects requiring long-term masonry joint durability. By incorporating our system into the initial design, you can proactively protect sealant, prevent moisture intrusion, and extend the life of the building's exterior envelope, reducing future maintenance needs.
