3.1.3 typical through the ceiling
A.
Move the stove into position with the flue centered, midpoint between two
joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center.
B.
Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a 2” (50.8mm)
clearance between the outside of the chimney and any combustible
material.
Do not fill this space with any type of material.
Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
Firestop spacers must be placed on the bottom
of each framed opening in any floor or ceiling
that the chimney passes through. If your
chimney system is enclosed within the attic
area, a rafter radiation shield is required.
C.
Hold a plumb bob from the underside of the
roof to determine where the opening in the
roof should be. Cut and frame the roof opening
to maintain proper 2” (50.8mm) clearances.
