BUILDER'S CHOICE SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
c. Firestop Spacer/Chimney Installation
Frame an opening and install an FS6 Firestop
Spacer whenever the vent penetrates a ceiling/
floor area, as shown in Figure 16. Frame the
opening with the same sized lumber as used in
the ceiling/floor joists.
Do not
pack insulation
around the chimney.
d. Chase/Termination Installation
Figures 17 and 18, and Table 1 specify minimum
chimney heights for various pitched roofs.
These chimney heights are necessary for safety
and do not ensure draft-free operation. Trees,
buildings, adjoining roof lines, adverse conditions,
etc. may create a need for a taller chimney should
down drafting occur.
