C. Install the Ceiling Firestop

A ceiling firestop

MUST be used between

floors and attics.

SLP pipe only - Frame opening 9 in. x 9

in. (229 mm x 229 mm) whenever the vent

penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure 8.3).

• Frame the area with the same sized lumber

as used in ceiling/floor joist.

• The ceiling firestop may be installed above or

below the ceiling joists when installed with a

attic insulation shield. It must be under joists

between floors that are not insulated. Refer

to Figure 8.4.

• Secure with three fasteners on each side.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT pack insu-

lation around the vent. Insulation must be kept

back from the pipe to prevent overheating.
