Table 1 - Minimum Clearances to Combustible for CAX1-(BC)
Auxiliary parts such as combination Roof Supports, Roof Thimble, Flashings, and
Wall Thimble outer shields are intended to be attached directly to the framing
or to ceilings, floors, or walls in accordance with their respective instructions.
These parts, which are installed in contact with wood or other combustibles, are
designed and tested to assure that they do not overheat at points of contact.
NOTES:
1. Unenclosed requires at least two sides open.
2. Reduced clearances may be attained by using non-combustible enclosures.
3. Combustible material is any material made of or surfaced with wood,
compressed paper, plant fibers, or other materials that are capable of being
ignited or burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even
though it is flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated, or plastered.
(Source: NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1)
4. Design any enclosure to permit inspection of the system.
5. Do not place insulation in any required clearance spaces surrounding the
vent system unless these instructions suggest otherwise and the insulation
is specified or supplied.
6. When using Viton caulking, follow the manufactures required drying times.
