Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
• Any occupied areas above the first floor,
including closets and storage spaces, which the
vertical vent passed through must be enclosed.
The enclosure may be framed and sheet rocked
with standard construction materials; however,
refer to these installation instructions for the
minimum allowable clearance between the
outside of the vent pipe and the combustible
surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill any of the
required air space with insulation.

H. Secure the Vent Sections
• Vertical runs of SLP pipe must be supported every 8 ft.
(2.44 m).
• Horizontal sections must be supported every 5 feet (1.52
m).
• Vent supports or plumbers strap (spaced 120º apart) may
be used to support vent sections. See Figures 10.8 and
10.9.
• Wall shield firestops may be used to provide horizontal
support to vent sections.
• SLP ceiling firestops have tabs that may be used to provide
vertical support.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxiation!
Improper support may allow vent to sag and separate. Use
vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation
instructions.
DO NOT
allow vent to sag below connection
