For Horizontal Runs - Wall shield fi restops are REQUIRED on
both sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.
NOTE: Model SLK-01TRD does not need an exterior
wall shield fi restop on an exterior combustible wall.
To install wall shield fi restops for horizontal runs that pass
through either interior or exterior walls:

series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch
(25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.
• Position the wall shield fi restops on both sides of the
hole previously cut and secure the wall shield fi restops
with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the wall shield fi restops MUST BE
placed towards the top of the hole.
• Continue the vent run through the wall shield fi restops.
