ANGLED WALL RADIATION SHIELD
(RSM+, RSMI30, RSMI45)
When traversing a combustible wall with the
chimney at a 30° or 45° angle, an angled firestop
and/or wall radiation shield must be installed.
Only one is required
(Figure 22)
.
Table 6
gives
recommended hole size for installing a wall
radiation shield.
Note: 45° angle installation for Canada
only.
In cold climate locations, we recommend that
you use the insulated wall radiation shield since
it will maintain the home’s thermal barrier.
