Do not enclose this chimney in a chase or passageway of ordinary wood or other combustible material 

 

Where  the  chimney  extends  through  any  zone  of  a  building  (outside  that  in  which  the  heating  appliance  connected  to  it  is  located),  it  shall  be 
provided with an enclosure having a fire resistance rating equal to or greater than that of the floor, wall or roof assemblies through which it passes. 

 

ICC Model VIP+ chimney may penetrate a combustible floor or roof using the appropriate parts and openings sizes. See section 

Roof and Floor 

Penetrations

 for more details. 

 

Where, according to local code, no chase enclosure is necessary, Model VIP+ chimney may be placed adjacent to walls of combustible construction 
at the clearance specified on each chimney section and in the individual listing. (see
