WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Maintain air space clearance

DO NOT
pack insulation or other combustibles:
• Between ceiling firestops
• Between wall shield firestops
• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe could cause overheating and fire.

B. Wall Penetration Framing/Firestops
Combustible Wall Penetration
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield firestop(s). The wall shield
firestop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infiltration.
• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the
same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.
• DVP pipe - A wall shield firestop is required on one side
only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a
wall shield firestop on both sides, then both wall shield
firestops must have a heat shield (refer to Section
12.A.) attached to them.
• See Section 7.F. for information for regarding the instal
-
lation of a horizontal termination cap.
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by non-com
-
bustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter
one inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield firestop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.
DO NOT PACK VENT FRAMING HOLE WITH INSULATION
OR OTHER MATERIAL.
Note: Center of the horizontal vent pipe to the vertical measuring surface of a
trap cap is 5 inches (127 mm)
