4. Install Firestops

For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both
sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.

NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP does not need an exterior fir-
estop on an exterior combustible wall. The firestop is
built into the cap.

To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through either
interior or exterior walls:

• Cut a 10” x 12” (254mm X 305mm) hole through the wall.

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

• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ-

ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.

• The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to-

wards the top of the hole.

• Continue the vent run through the firestops.

ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system. Securing pipe sections with a maximum of
two screws is recommended.

• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point

around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at
the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.

To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:

• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti-

cal vent component.

• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.

• Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.

• Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir-

ing or plumbing runs.

• Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary,

to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

• Cut an 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm x 254mm) hole through

the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.

• Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the

ceiling joists.
