Roof and Floor Penetrations
Non-Combustibles Floor Penetration
Minimum openings when passing through a floor made of
non-combustible materials such as steel structure, concrete
block or other type of masonry must be at least 2" larger than
the outside diameter of the chimney leaving an unobstructed
gap of 1” all around the chimney. (OD + 2")
It is also required to use a Firestop combined with a Floor
Guide or a Base Support in order to maintain clearance and
stability. Expansion joints may be required in order to
minimize the effects of thermal expansion.

Combustible Floor Penetration – 1000°F Chimney (UL 103 & ULC C-959 Listings)
* The instructions in this section are valid for Building Heating Appliances (BHA) with venting flue gases at temperatures not exceeding 538°C
(1000°F) under continuous operating conditions from gas, liquid, oil or solid fuel fired appliances. Also complies with operation (less than one hour)
at temperatures not exceeding 760°C (1400°F) and brief operation (maximum 10 minutes) at temperatures not exceeding 906°C (1700°F).
An Insulated Radiation Shield must be used where a chimney passes through a
floor made of combustible materials. The Radiation Shield assembly is primarily
used for floor and roof penetration (see following section for roof penetration) to
protect combustible materials from heat radiated from the chimney, maintain
clearance and provide firestoping. See
Table 8
for minimum square framing
dimensions.
1. The Radiation Shield is inserted into the framing hole from under the floor and
secured from under the Firestop Plate using 8 wood screws #10 x 2".
2. The Radiation Shield height can be adjusted to the floor thickness by sliding
the adjustable sleeve. Excess insulation must be trimmed.
3. For minimum height adjustment remove the adjustable sleeve and trim
insulation. The shield must be at least as tall as the floor thickness and cover all
combustible material exposed in the floor opening.
4. Can be pared with a floor guide (above the floor) for better stability.
