Fire Risk. Explosion Risk.

• Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage spaces, which the vertical flue passed through must be enclosed. The enclosure may be framed and sheetrocked with standard construction materials; however, refer to these installation instructions for the minimum allowable clearance between the outside of the flue pipe and the combustible surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill any of the required air space with insulation.
