Vent Clearances and Framing

A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance to
vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:
• Between ceiling firestops
• Between wall shield firestops
• Around vent system
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from
vent pipe may cause overheating and fire.
Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).
• If wall thickness is less than 4 in. the existing heat shields must be field trimmed. If
wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
• SLP heat shield - designed to be used on a wall 4-3/8 in. to 7-5/8 in. (111 mm to
194 mm thick).
• If wall thickness is less than 4-3/8 the existing heat shields must be field trimmed.
If wall thickness is greater than 7-5/8 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
