C. Vertical Penetration Framing

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Keep loose materials or blown insulation from touching the flue pipe.

•Hearth & Home Technologies requires the use of an attic shield.

Installing the Ceiling Firestop

•Frame an opening 25.4 cm by 25.4 cm whenever the system penetrates a ceiling/ floor (see Figure 6.3). A steeply slanted roof may require an enlarged opening size in order to maintain proper flue pipe clearances.

•Frame the area with the same sized lumber as used in ceiling/floor joist.

•When installing a top flue vertical ter- mination appliance the hole should be directly above the appliance, unless the flue is offset.

•Do not pack insulation around the flue. Insulation must be kept away from the pipe.

Installing Attic Shield

Note: An additional ceiling firestop is not required if attic shield is used.

•Frame opening for attic shield.

•Attic shield may be installed above or below ceiling (see Figure 6.4).

•Secure with three fasteners on each side.

•Fold tabs at top of attic shield in toward flue pipe. Tabs must keep flue pipe cen- tered within shield.

•Field construct additional shield height if insulation is deeper than height of attic shield.
