WALL SHIELD
For Vertical Runs -
One fi restop is
REQUIRED
at the
hole in each ceiling through which the fl ue passes.
To install fi restops for vertical runs that pass through
ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the
vertical fl ue component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the
fl ue.
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point.
• Check the fl oor above for any obstructions, such as
wiring or plumbing runs.
• Reposition the heater and fl ue system, if necessary,
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstruc-
tions.
• Cut a 254 mm X 254 mm hole through the ceiling,
using the fi restop pipe opening as a guide.
• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size
as the ceiling joists.
4. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs -
Firestops are
REQUIRED
on
both sides of a combustible wall through which the
fl ue passes.
To install fi restops (heat shield) for horizontal runs that
pass through either interior or exterior walls:
• Cut a 10-inch by 12-inch (254 mm X 305 mm) hole
through the wall.
• Position the fi restops on both sides of the hole
previously cut and secure the fi restops with nails or
screws.
• The pipe opening of the fi restops
MUST BE
placed
towards the bottom of the fi restop.
• Continue the fl ue run through the fi restop.

3. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs -
The fl ue system must be
supported every fi ve (5) feet (1.5 m) of horizontal run
by a horizontal pipe support. To install support brackets
for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the fl ue pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs -
The fl ue system must be supported
every eight feet (2.4 M) above the heater fl ue outlet by
wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical
runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the fl ue pipe and secure the
wall bracket to the framing members with nails or
screws.
