• If wall thickness is less than 4-3/8 the existing heat shields must
be field trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than 7-5/8 in. an
extended heat shield will be required.
*When using SLP pipe, minimum clearances from the vent pipe to

A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance to
vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:
• Between ceiling fi restops
• Between wall shield fi restops
• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent
pipe may cause over heating and fi re.

B. Wall Penetration Framing

Combustible Wall Penetration
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield fi restops. A wall shield
fi restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infi ltration.
• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the
same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.
• A wall shield fi restop must be placed on each side of
an interior wall. A minimum 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap of
attached heat shields must be maintained.
• See Section 10.L. for information for regarding the
installation of a horizontal termination cap.
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombus-
tible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one
inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.
