•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.
