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.

Combustible Wall Penetration

Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield fi restop(s). The wall shield
fi restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infi ltration. See Figure 8.6.

• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the

same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.

• DVP pipe - A wall shield fi restop is required on one side

only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a
wall shield fi restop on both sides, then both wall shield
fi restops must have a heat shield (refer to Section 16.B.)
attached to them.

• See Section 10.J. for information for regarding the in-

stallation of a horizontal termination cap.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncom-
bustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter
one inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.

Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.

* Shows center of 10 in. x 12 in. vent framing hole for top venting. The

center of the hole is 1 inch above the center of the horizontal vent
pipe. With minimum vertical or 12 inch and 90º elbow.
