ANGLED WALL RADIATION SHIELD
When passing through a combustible wall with the chimney at a 30
or 45
angle, an angled
firestop or wall radiation shield must be installed. Only one is required. Follow the chimney
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
In cold climate locations, it is recommended that you use the insulated wall radiation shield since
it will maintain the home’s thermal barrier.
