Vent Clearances and Framing
Figure 5.1 Horizontal Venting Clearances To Combustible
Materials
B. Wall Penetration Framing/Firestops
Combustible Wall Penetration
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield firestop(s). The wall shield
firestop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infiltration.
• The opening must be framed on all four sides using
the same size framing materials as those used in the
wall construction.
• The LEGACY appliance is supplied with a wall shield
specifically designed for use on the inside of the exte
-
rior wall in which the termination cap is to be located.
A minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap of attached
heat shields must be maintained.
•
A wall shield (DVP-WS) must be placed on one side
of the interior walls. See Section 7.E for information
regarding the installation of a horizontal termination
cap.
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by non-com-
bustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter
one inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield firestop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.
