Installing the Firestop Spacer

in the Ceiling Hole

A firestop spacer is used to keep pipe spaced properly and required for safety.

Nail the firestop spacer (at each corner) to the framing members of the ceiling hole. NOTE: A firestop spacer is not required at the roof.

Hole sizes listed in Figure 9 for angled firestop spacers provide minimum required air space to chimney pipe for ceiling thickness up to 8” (203mm). When combined thickness of ceiling material, ceiling joists and flooring material exceeds 8” (203mm), adjustments must be made in framing to assure that minimum air spaces to chimney are maintained.

Proper Firestop Spacer Installation

Figure 18 shows different installation procedures for both an area that is an attic and an area that is not an attic.

If the area above the ceiling is not an attic, position the firestop spacer with the flange on the ceiling side and the angled portion extending up into the hole.

If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position the firestop spacer with the flange on the top of the framed hole and the angled portion extending down into the hole.

Firestop spacers are not available for, nor are they required on vertical walls.

DO NOT put any sealant around the area where the outer pipe slides through the firestop spacer. If you seal this area, it may cause a fire hazard.

Canadian Requirements

for Insulation Shield

In Canada, an attic insulation shield is required to pre- vent attic insulaiton from contacxting the chimney sec- tion. Framing dimensions for the chimney hole should measure 14¹⁄₂” x 14¹⁄₂” (368 x 368 mm). An attic shield MUST be installed on top of attic joists (above the floor level). (Fig. 19)

NOTE: In the U.S., it is a good idea, although not al- ways required, to install an attic insulation shield where blown-in insulation is planned to be used in the atic.

Continue Installing Pipe to Complete Run

Continue attaching pipe sections to complete system to next level always being careful that the pipe is firmly snapped locked in place before proceeding to next pipe section.

Chimney Supports

If chimney supports are required, they are installed the same as elbows. Nail chimney support straps to adja- cent structural framing, as shown on Figure 16. Bend straps as necessary and make sure they are secure so they will support the weight of the chimney. A chimney support is 2¹⁄₂" (64mm) long when installed. Consider this dimension when determining how many straight chimney sections are needed.

NOTE: Chimney supports are generally used in long runs in a chase installation.

Additional Ceilings

If you encounter additional ceilings, repeat same steps required for first ceiling installation. See firestop illus- tration in Figure 18.
