B. Wall Penetration Framing
• Wherever a combustible wall is penetrated, the hole must
be framed with a wall shield
¿
restop. This shield maintains
minimum clearances and restricts cold air in
¿
ltration.
• If the wall being penetrated is of noncombustible materials
(material which will not ignite or burn, or has a UL
¿
re rating
of zero), a 9 in. (229 mm) diameter hole is acceptable.
• Whenever a wall is penetrated the wall shield
¿
restop
is only required on one side and no heat shield is
necessary.
• If your local inspector requires the wall shield
¿
restop on
both sides of the wall, then both wall shield
¿
restops must
have a heat shield attached to them.

The heat shield is designed to be used on a wall

If wall thickness
is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the existing heat shields must be
field trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184
mm) a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
