FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)

Firestop spacers are required at each point

where the chimney penetrates a floor or ceil-

ing joist space. Their purpose is to establish

and maintain the required clearance between

the chimney and the combustible materials.

When the pipe passes through a framed

opening into a living space above, the firestop

must be placed onto the ceiling from below as

shown in Figure 19, page 9.

They also provide complete separation from

one floor space to another or attic space as

required by most codes. When the double wall

pipe passes through a framed opening into an

attic space, the firestop must be placed into an

attic floor as shown in Figure 20, page 9.
When penetrating a floor or ceiling at an

angle, use firestop spacer number 30 FS-

10D (see Replacement and Accessory Parts,

page 15).
