Page 20: Secure Offset/Return
CAUTION! Risk of Fire! Ceiling firestops must be used whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/floor. • Chase construction requires ceiling firestops at each floor or every 10 ft. (3.05 m) of clear space. • The ceiling firestop slows spread of fire and reduces cold air infiltration. • Install a ceiling firestop whenever chimney penetrates ceiling/floor. • Mark and cut an opening in ceiling as shown in Figure 5.4. • Frame the opening with the same size lumber used in the ceiling joists. • Nail the ceiling firestop to the bottom of the ceiling joists when there is a room above. • Use an attic insulation shield if the ceiling is insulated. The ceiling firestop may then be attached above or below the joists. Heatilator • A36/42C, A36/42CH • Installers Manual • 4017-262 • Rev D • 10/07/13... -
