H.Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal Termination

WARNING! Risk of Fire! To prevent overheating and fire, heat shields must extend through the entire wall thick- ness.

•DO NOT remove the heat shields attached to the wall shield firestop and the horizontal termination cap (shown in Figure 10.14).

•Heat shields must overlap 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) mini- mum.

There are two sections of the heat shield. One section is factory-attached to the wall shield firestop. The other section is factory-attached to the cap. See Figure 10.14.

If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) heat shield overlap when installed, an extended heat shield must be used.

•If the wall thickness is less than or 4-3/8 in. (111 mm), the heat shields on the cap and wall shield firestop must be trimmed. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap MUST be maintained.

•Use an extended heat shield if the finished wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184 mm).

•The extended heat shield may need to be cut to length maintaining sufficient length for a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap between heat shields.

•Attach the extended heat shield to either of the existing heat shields using the screws supplied with the extended heat shield. Refer to vent components diagrams in the back of this manual.

•Rest the small leg on the extended heat shield on top of the pipe section to properly space it from the pipe section.

Important Notice: Heat shields may not be field constructed.

I. Install Metal Roof Flashing

•See minimum vent heights for various pitched roofs (Figure 10.16) to determine the length of pipe to extend through the roof.

•Slide the roof flashing over the pipe sections extending through the roof as shown in Figure 10.17.

NOTICE: Failure to properly caulk the roof flashing could cause water entry.

•Caulk the gap between the roof flashing and the outside diameter of the pipe.

•Caulk the perimeter of the flashing where it contacts the roof surface. See Figure 10.17.

CAUTION! Risk of Fire! Follow the requirements of the local standards and codes for minimum height require- ments from roof line.
