Vent Termination - Quadra-Fire QV36DB-A Owner's Manual

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti-
cal vent component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.
• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.
• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-
ing or plumbing runs.
• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,
to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
• Cut an 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm X 254mm) hole through
the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.
• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the
ceiling joists.
