FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)
Firestop spacers are required at each point
where chimney penetrates a floor space.
Their purpose is to establish and maintain
required clearance between chimney and
combustible materials. When pipe passes
through a framed opening into a living space
above, firestop must be placed onto ceiling
from below as shown in Figure 10.
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 11.

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 2" clearance to pipe on roof with
a pitch, a rectangular opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point through which pipe
will penetrate roof.
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is
the distance the roof drops over a given
span, usually 12".
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 12) to
determine correct opening length and
flashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening mea
-
sured. Cut out this section.
5. Add next sections of pipe until end
penetrates roof line. Check to see that
proper clearances are maintained. Extend
chimney by adding sections of double wall
pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above
highest point of roof cutout. Termination
and chimney must extend a minimum of
36" above highest point where it passes
through roof.
