I'm looking for a chimney cap. I have a square chimney pipe. Home
Depot or Lowe's doesn't sell these so who does in the Pacific

I got mine at a local hardware store, Be sure to spend a few bucks more and
get stainless steel. I had a black one and after the paint started to chip
after a few years, it started to make a mess with rust down the chimney side
and siding.

The last time I looked, Lowes on Aurora had them. Or, try a woodstove shop.

Got mine at Home Depot for a square chimney.

Check a masonry supply yard, brick/block yard. You'll find caps, that you
wouldn't find in the retail box stores. Around here, the supply yards carry
better quality than the typical outlets.

I got six hits on the phrase (as enclosed in quotation marks). You found
193K pages that had all three of those words on them somewhere.

I wholeheartedly second this suggestion. A galvanized cap has a very short
warranty, while most stainless caps have lifetime guarantees. Unless
you're the sort to regularly inspect your cap, the first sign of trouble
will be the rust streaks running down your chimney. Buy stainless and
forget about it.

Many home improvement stores or fireplace stores will have caps in stock,
as will chimney sweeps. You can also order online. This took about a
minute to find:

When adhering to terra cotta, you want to avoid over-tightening and
cracking it.

HTH,
