Chase

A framed enclosure around a factory-built chimney — a structure, not masonry.

What is Chase?

Typically wood-framed and clad, housing a metal chimney system. Because it is framed rather than solid, water entering the top does not simply weather the surface — it saturates structure that cannot be inspected without opening it. Which is why the cover on top is treated as a primary water barrier.
