IMPORTANT
: The B-Vent type chimney system must be enclosed within a chase when installed in or passing
through a living area where combustibles or people may contact the chimney. This is important to prevent
possible personal injury or fire hazard.
5)
If the installation is a continuous vertical run that does not pass through any attic, floors, or ceilings;
continue the installation of the chimney by installing sections of B-vent pipe up to the location of
termination. Proceed to Step 8.
6)
If the installation must pass through an attic, floor, or ceiling the B-vent Firestop shall be utilized. To
pass the pipe through the floor/ ceiling, begin by cutting a hole in the floor/ ceiling that is 2 inches larger
than the outside diameter (OD) of the B-vent pipe’s outer casing. The B-vent Firestop is installed at the
underside of this penetration. The B-Vent pipe is to be centered in the firestop’s opening. When
installed, check to make sure the one-inch (25.4 mm) clearance to combustible has been maintained.
IMPORTANT
: If the area above the penetration is an attic, the firestop shall be installed above the joist to
prevent insulation from filling the required clearance area between the pipe and joists.
7)
45° Elbows are available to install the B-vent chimney around obstructions. If the installation requires
more than two 90-degree offsets, contact your local Isokern sales representative for assistance.
NOTE:
Two 45° elbows may be combined to achieve 90° offset.
8)
Where the B-Vent installation penetrates the roof, begin by cutting a hole that is 2 inches larger than the
outside diameter (OD) of the B-vent pipe’s outer casing. The B-Vent pipe is to be centered in this opening.
Above the roof, a flashing is required to maintain the one-inch (25.4 mm) clearance to the combustibles of
the roof. Installation of a storm collar allows water to drain over the flashing
