Install The Ceiling Firestop - Heat & Glo 550TRSI-AUF Owner's Manual

C. Install the Ceiling Firestop
A ceiling firestop MUST be used between
floors and attics.
• DVP pipe only - Frame an opening 10 in.
x 10 in. (254 mm by 254 mm) whenever the
vent penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure
8.3).
• SLP pipe only - Frame opening 9 in. x 9
in. (229 mm x 229 mm) whenever the vent
penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure 8.3).
• Frame the area with the same sized lumber
as used in ceiling/floor joist.
• The ceiling firestop may be installed above or
below the ceiling joists when installed with a
attic insulation shield. It must be under joists
between floors that are not insulated. Refer
to Figure 8.4.
• Secure with three fasteners on each side.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT pack insu-
lation around the vent. Insulation must be kept
back from the pipe to prevent overheating.
