A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance to
vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:

• Between

• Between wall shield fi restops
• Around vent system

Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe may cause over heating and fi re.

Vent Clearances and Framing

B. Wall Penetration Framing

Combustible Wall Penetration

Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield fi restop(s). The wall shield
fi restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infi ltration.

• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the

same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.

• SLP pipe - A wall shield fi restop must be placed on each

side of an interior wall. A minimum 1 1/2 in. (38 mm)
overlap of attached heat shields must be maintained.

• DVP pipe - A wall shield fi restop is required on one side

only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a
wall shield fi restop on both sides, then both wall shield
fi restops must have a heat shield attached to them.

• See Section 10.I. & 10.J. for information for regarding

the installation of a horizontal termination cap.

bustible Materials

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombus-
tible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one
inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.

Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm). The
heat shield is designed to be used on a wall 4 in. to 7-1/4 in. (102 mm to
184 mm) thick.
If wall thickness is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the existing heat
shields must be field trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184
mm) a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
