Do not fill this space with any type of material. Do not pack insulation or combustibles between ceiling firestops. Always
maintain specified clearances around venting and firestop systems. Install wall shields and firestops as specified. Failure
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use supports or
equivalent non-combustible strapping to maintain the 1" clearance from combustibles. Use Wolf Steel Ltd. vent spacers
W615-0033 every 18" and at the start, middle and end of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1 1/4" clearance between
the 4" flexible vent pipe and the 7" rigid vent pipe. These spacers must not be removed. Use Wolf Steel Ltd. support ring
assembly W010-0370 or equivalent non-combustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for
If using pipe clamps to connect vent components, 3 screws must also be used to ensure the connection cannot slip off.
Risk of fire, explosion or asphyxiation. Improper support of the entire venting system may allow vent to sag and separate.

3.1.1 hOrIzONTAL INSTALLATION

For optimum performance, the stove pipe should have a minimum rise of 1/4" per foot.
For venting clearances, see "MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES" section.
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having determined the correct height for the air terminal
location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9" wide by 10" high to accommodate the firestop assembly. Dry fit the firestop
assembly before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit to the inside surface of the horizontal framing.
A. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using the 3 shorter screws supplied. The shield is deeper than the
combustible portion of the wall, cut to fit.
B. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the firestop spacer over the framework to restrict cold air from being drawn
into the room or around the stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.
Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply
sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.
