Impaired Performance of Appliance

•Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.

•Use pilot holes for screws.

•Screws must not exceed 1 inch long.

•Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal Termination

For all horizontally vented appliances, a heat shield MUST be placed one inch above the top of the vent between the wall shield firestop and the base of the termination cap.

There are two sections of the heat shield. One section attaches to the wall shield firestop with two screws. The remaining section is attached to the cap in the same manner.

If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 inch heat shield overlap, an extended heat shield must be used.

The extended heat shield will need to be cut to the thick- ness of the wall and be attached to the wall shield firestop. The small leg on the extended heat shield should rest on the top of the vent (pipe section) to properly space it from the pipe section (see Figure 8.12).

WARNING

Burn Risk

•Local codes may require installation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone from touching the hot cap.
