FIRESTOP SPACERS (FS-10)
Firestop spacers are required at each point
where the chimney penetrates a floor or ceil-
ing joist space. Their purpose is to establish
and maintain the required clearance between
the chimney and the combustible materials.
When the pipe passes through a framed
opening into a living space above, the firestop
must be placed onto the ceiling from below as
shown in Figure 19, page 9.
They also provide complete separation from
one floor space to another or attic space as
required by most codes. When the double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an
attic space, the firestop must be placed into an
attic floor as shown in Figure 20, page 9.
When penetrating a floor or ceiling at an
angle, use firestop spacer number 30 FS-
10D (see Replacement and Accessory Parts,
page 15).
