Vertical Firestops (Figures 40, 41 and 42)

Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require the use of ONE (1) ceiling firestop at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.

Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the vent. Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point and check the floor above for any obstructions such as wiring or plumbing runs. Reposition the appliance and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

Cut a 10 inch x 10 inch hole through the ceiling, using the center point previously marked. Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. (See Figure 40) If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling firestop on the ceiling side of the previously cut and framed hole. (See Figure

41)If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position and secure the firestop on top of the previously framed hole. (See Figure 42)

NOTE: Remove insulation from the framed area in the attic before installing the firestop and/or vent pipes.
