illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ clearance

between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center the vent

 

 

pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use

 

FIRESTOP

a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe shield will

around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.

 

 

 

B. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf

 

 

Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling),

 

 

and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on the
