FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10, 1100EFS-10DM FOR 36" MODELS)
Firestop spacers are required at each point
where the chimney penetrates a oor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
the required clearance between the chimney
and the combustible materials. When the pipe
passes through a framed opening into a living
space above, the restop must be placed onto
the ceiling from below as shown in Figure 13.
They also provide complete separation from
one oor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When the double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an
attic space, the restop must be placed into an
attic oor as shown in Figure 14.

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" (36" Models) or 2" (42/50"
Models) clearance to the pipe on a roof with a
pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point through which pipe
will penetrate roof.
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is
distance the roof drops over a given span,
usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that roof
drops 6" for each 12" measured horizon-
tally down from roof rafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 15, page
11) to determine correct opening length
and ashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening mea-
sured. Cut out this section.
