1.Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the 8" vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fill this cavity with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire- place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

1.Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 10 inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to center the ex- haust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL. A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe. Nail headers

between the joist for extra support.

caulking (not sup- plied) to the frame- work or to the Wolf

Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceil- ing. FIGURE 18. A firestop must be placed on the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passes through. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire- place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
