B. Installing Firestops and Horizontal Termination Cap
Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap without using
the telescoping
fl
ue section found on the termination cap.
NOTE:
Where required, an exterior wall
fl
ashing is available.
When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension kit is avail-
able for framing the brick.
Installing the Horizontal Termination Cap
Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall. Siding
may be brought to the edge of the cap base.
Flash and seal as appropriate for siding material at outside
edges of cap.
When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow the cap
location guidelines as prescribed by current
ANSI Z223.1
and
CAN/CGA-B149
installation codes.
Burn Risk
• Local codes may require installation of a
cap shield to prevent anything or anyone
from touching the hot cap.
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:
Cut a 10 in. x 10 in. (254 mm x 254 mm) hole for SL-D-
series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch
(25.4 mm) 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.
