STEP 4. Install Firestops

For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.

NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP or SLK-01TRD does not need an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.

To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through either interior or exterior walls:

Cut a 12” x 10“ (305mm x 25mm) hole through the wall for DVP-series or a 10” x 10” (254mm x 254mm) hole for SL-D- series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.

•Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ- ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.

•The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to- wards the top of the hole.

•Continue the vent run through the firestops.

NOTE: There must be NO INSULATION or other combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

•Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.

•Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.

•Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir- ing or plumbing runs.

•Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

•Cut a 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm X 254mm) hole through the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.

•Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists.
