B. Wall Penetration Framing

Combustible Wall Penetration

Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must frame a hole for the wall shield ﬁrestop. The wall shield ﬁrestop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold air inﬁltration.

•The opening must be framed on all four sides using the same size framing materials as those used in the wall construction.

•SLP pipe - A wall shield ﬁrestop 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 8.L. for information for regarding the instal- lation of a horizontal termination cap.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncom- bustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one in. greater than the pipe is acceptable.

Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall shield ﬁrestop is only required on one side and no heat shield is necessary.
