Non-Combustible

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials 

are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, 

concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination 

thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136, 

Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a 

Vertical Tube Furnace at 750°C shall be considered 

non-combustible materials.

Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed 

paper, plant 

fi

 bers, plastics, or other material that 

can ignite and burn, whether 

fl

 ame proofed or not,

Non-Combustible Cement Board

The LT1 Linear 

fi

 replace requires a 1/2” (13

 

mm) thick 

non-combustible cement board to be used as a wall 

surface immediately surrounding the unit’s opening—

see diagram for minimum coverage.
Extending the cement board well beyond the minimum 

shown will help avoid cracking due to di

 erential 

expansion of materials.
Pre-drill cement board with oversized holes and do 

not over-tighten screws to avoid cracking due to heat 

expansion. 
Standard gypsum wall board may be used beyond the 

perimeter of the cement board.
