When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of
your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered
a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.
Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to
building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local
building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
