BUILDER'S CHOICE SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

c. Firestop Spacer/Chimney Installation

Frame an opening and install an FS6 Firestop

Spacer whenever the vent penetrates a ceiling/

floor area, as shown in Figure 16. Frame the

opening with the same sized lumber as used in

the ceiling/floor joists. Do not pack insulation

around the chimney.

d. Chase/Termination Installation

Figures 17 and 18, and Table 1 specify minimum

chimney heights for various pitched roofs.
These chimney heights are necessary for safety

and do not ensure draft-free operation. Trees,

buildings, adjoining roof lines, adverse conditions,

etc. may create a need for a taller chimney should

down drafting occur.
