FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10,
1100EFS-10DM FOR JM36)
Firestop spacers are required at each point where
the chimney penetrates a floor 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 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 THE ROOF
To maintain a 1" (JM36) or 2" (JM42/JM50) clear
-
ance to the pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular
opening must be cut.
1. Determine the center point through which the
pipe will penetrate the roof.
2. Determine the center point of the roof. Pitch
is the distance the roof drops over a given
span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that
the roof drops 6" for each 12" one measure
horizontally down from the roof rafters.
3. Use the roof opening chart (Figure 12) to
determine the correct opening length and
flashing required.
