SECTION D - ROOF AND WALL PENETRATIONS
ROOF/FLOOR PENETRATION
1.. The.roof/floor.penetration.consist.of.a.firestop.radiant.shield.(FS),.a.
flashing.(F).with.a.storm.collar.(SC).and.a.floor.guide.(FG).or.ventilated.
anchor.plate.(APV).(see.Figure 36.roof/floor.penetration).
2...Those.components.allows.the.chimney.to.penetrate.a.combustible.roof.
or.floor.at.2.inches.clearance.to.combustible...See table 3.–.Minimum.
openings.for.framing.dimension.
3...The.radiant.shield.of.the.firestop.may.need.to.be.trimmed.to.fit.the.
height.of.the.roof...Nominal.height.is.10.inches.
4...Roof/floor.penetration.components.are.designed.to.be.installed.on.a.
flat.roof...They.may.be.installed.on.a.pitch.roof.if.a.curb.is.installed.
to.provide.a.flat.surface.
5...Floor.guide.is.used.to.protect.the.flashing.from.lateral.movement...The.
ventilated.anchor.plate.is.used.to.protect.the.flashing.and.to.provide.
a.re-support.
6.. Do.not.install.a.chimney.joint.or.a.expansion.length.in.the.roof/floor.
space.
7.. For.installation.on.non-combustibles.materials,.the.minimum.opening.
can.be.reduced.to.I.D...+.6.inches...The.anchor.plate.can.also.be.used.
instead.of.the.ventilated.version.
8.. Always.seal,.with.outer.joint.sealant,.between.storm.collar.and.outer.
chimney.casing.
9..Installation.step:
a..Cut.opening.to.dimensions.specify.in.table 3.
b..Install.the.Firestop.under.the.roof/floor.and.attach.it.with.screw.
c..Slide.DIS./.DAS.chimney.trough.the.firestop.
d..Install.the.floor.guide.or.the.ventilated.anchor.plate.on.top.of.the.
roof/floor.
e..Install. flashing. over. the. chimney. and. the. guide/support. and.
screw.it.
f.. The.storm.collar.is.placed.around.the.chimney.and.sealed.to.the.
casing.with.outer.joint.sealant..The.storm.collar.should.not.quite.
rest.on.the.flashing.when.the.chimney.is.cold.(1/4”.gap.between.
the.collar.and.the.top.of.the.flashing).
WALL PENETRATION
1...This.part.is.used.to.allow.model.DIS./.DAS.chimney.to.pass.trough.a.
wall.made.of.combustible.construction..
. NOTE: Crossing a combustible wall is not permitted for diameters
larger than 10” inside diameter.
2.. The.wall.penetrator.(FSW).consist.of.a.firestop.female.half.and.a.male.
half.that.slide.in.each.other.to.adjust.wall.thickness.from.7.8”.to.12.1”,.
see.Figure 37.
3...Installation.step:
a..Cut.opening.to.dimension.indicated.in.table 3.
b..Slide.the.firestop.female.half.into.the.opening.and.fix.it.to.the.
wall.with.screws.
c..On.the.other.side.of.the.wall,.slide.the.male.half.into.the.opening.
and.fix.it.
d..Insert.the.chimney.trough.the.opening.of.the.wall.firestop...Make.
sure.there.is.no.chimney.joint.or.expansion.length.in.the.wall.
opening.
e..The. chimney. section. must. be. well. supported. and. guided. to.
prevent.any.load.on.the.wall.firestop.
