A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Maintain air space clearance
to vent.
DO NOT
pack insulation or other combustibles:
• Between ceiling firestops
• Between wall shield firestops
• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe could cause overheating and fire.

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.
• DVP pipe - A wall shield firestop is required on one side
only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a
wall shield firestop on both sides, then both wall shield

• If wall thickness is less than 4 in. the existing heat shields must be field trimmed. If
wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.

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.
