<p>New terracotta pepper pot vent insert with a 185mm spigot size, designed to cap off unused chimney pots and flues whilst maintaining essential ventilation and preventing water ingress.</p>

<p>Manufactured from durable fired clay with a traditional terracotta finish, these pepper pot inserts provide an attractive and effective solution for redundant chimneys.</p>

<h3>Fitting a Pepper Pot Vent Insert</h3>

<p>The 205mm spigot is designed to slot directly into the chimney pot opening and rest securely on the outer rim of the pot.</p>

<p>For additional security, it is recommended that the insert is fixed in place using a suitable flexible roofing sealant or exterior-grade adhesive.</p>
