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. 

Figure 23 

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.
