For multi story installations. A ceiling firestop is

required at the second floor, and any subsequent

floors (see Figure 33). The opening should be framed

to 10” (25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) inside dimensions,

in the same manner as shown in Figure 29.

Any occupied areas above the first floor, including

closets and storage spaces, which the vertical vent

passes through, must be enclosed. The enclosure

may be framed and sheetrocked with standard

building materials. However consult the appliance

manufactures installation instructions for the

minimum allowable clearance between the outside

of the vent pipe, and the combustible surfaces of

the enclosure. Do not fill any required air spaces with

insulation.

2. Using the plumb bob, mark the center line of the venting system on the ceiling and drill a small hole

through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill hole and mark the outline of

the Cathedral Ceiling Support Box.

3. Remove shingles or other roof coverings as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the Support Box.

Cut the hole 1⁄8” larger than the Support Box outline.

4. Lower the Support Box through the hole in the roof until the bottom of the Support Box protrudes at

least 2 inches (5 cm) below the ceiling. Align the Support Box both vertically and horizontally with a

level as shown in Figure 34. Temporarily tack the Support Box in the place through the inside walls

and into the roof sheathing.

5. Using tin snips, cut the Support Box from the top corners

down to the roof line, and fold the resulting flaps over

the roof sheathing (Figure 35). Before nailing it in to the

roof, run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the top

edges of the Support Box to make a seal between the box

and the roof. Clean out any combustible material from
