A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance
to vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:
• Between ceiling fi restops
• Between wall shield fi restops
• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe may cause overheating and

Combustible Wall Penetration
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield
fi restop(s). The wall shield
fi restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air in fi ltration.
• 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 fi restop is required on one side
only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a
wall shield
fi restop on both sides, then both wall shield
fi restops must have a heat shield (refer to Section
12.A.) attached to them.
• See Section 7.E. for information for regarding the instal-
lation of a horizontal termination cap.
Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).

* Shows center of vent framing hole with minimum vertical for top venting. The
center of the hole is one (1) in. (25.4 mm) above the center of the horizontal
vent pipe.
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
fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.
