E. Installing Wall Shield Firestops and Horizontal Termination Cap (SL Pipe)
NOTE:
Where required, an exterior wall fl ashing is available.
When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension kit is avail-
able for framing the brick.
Installing the Horizontal Termination Cap
Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall. Siding
may be brought to the edge of the cap base.
Flash and seal as appropriate for siding material at out
side edges of cap.
When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow the cap
location guidelines as prescribed by current
ANSI Z223.1
and
CAN/CGA-B149
installation codes.
Burn Risk
• Local codes may require installation of a
cap shield to prevent anything or anyone
from touching the hot cap.

• ALWAYS maintain specifi ed clearances around venting
and fi restop systems.
• Install
fi restops as specifi ed.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe may cause fi re.

For Horizontal Runs
- Wall shield fi restops are
REQUIRED
on
both sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.
NOTE: Model SLK-01TRD does not need an exterior
wall shield fi restop on an exterior combustible wall.
To install wall shield fi restops for horizontal runs that pass
through either interior or exterior walls:
Cut a 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) hole for SL-D-
series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch
(25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.
• Position the wall shield fi restops on both sides of the
hole previously cut and secure the wall shield fi restops
with nails or screws.
• The heat shields of the wall shield fi restops
MUST BE
placed towards the top of the hole.
• Continue the vent run through the wall shield fi restops.
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other
combustibles between fi restops.
