Combustible Wall Penetration
Frame a hole in a combustible wall for an interior wall
shield fi restop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated.
Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction. The wall shield fi restop maintains minimum
clearances and prevents cold air infi ltration.
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombus-
tible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one
inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.

The center of the hole is one (1) inch (25.4 mm) above the
center of the horizontal vent pipe.

Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).
The heat shield is designed to be used on a wall 4 in. to 7-1/4 in. (102
mm to 184 mm) thick. If wall thickness is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the
existing heat shields must be fi eld trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than
7-1/4 in. (184 mm) a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
