Figure 18. Flue Pipe & Firestop
For vertical Runs - One firestop is REQUIRED at the hole
in each ceiling through which the flue passes.
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through
ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti-
cal flue component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the flue.
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point.
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-
ing or plumbing runs.
• Reposition the heater and flue system, if necessary, to
accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
• Cut a 25.4 cm X 30.5 cm hole through the ceiling, using
the firestop pipe opening as a guide.
• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as
the ceiling joists.
