Why this storm collar matters
The Imperial storm collar is more than a decorative ring around your chimney pipe. By providing a tight seal at the roof penetration, it helps minimize water intrusion and drafts that can lead to leaks and energy loss. The 26-gauge galvanized steel construction resists corrosion over time, making it a smart long-term investment for both new installations and retrofit projects where a 3-inch vent run passes through the roof.
Ideal use scenarios
- Residential roofs with 3-inch Type A chimney vent piping
- Retrofits where you need a dependable, ready-to-install storm collar to improve roof penetration sealing
- New chimney vent installations that require a corrosion-resistant, durable collar to complement galvanized venting systems
Installation considerations
- Ensure the collar diameter matches the vent pipe (3 inches) for a snug fit
- Pair with compatible flashing and sealant as part of a complete roof-penetration assembly
- Prepare surfaces by cleaning away debris and inspecting for any damage around the roof line before installation
- Follow standard safety practices for roof work and consult local codes for your region
Care & maintenance
- Inspect periodically for signs of rust or physical damage, especially after severe weather
- Keep the area around the collar clear of debris to maintain effective sealing
- Replace if corrosion or deformation compromises the seal or fit
