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 a 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.

NOTE: There must be NO INSULATION or other

combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both

sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.

NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP or SLK-01TRD does not need

an exterior firestop on an exterior combustible wall.

To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through

either interior or exterior walls:

Cut a 12” x 10“ (305mm x 25mm) hole through the wall for

DVP-series or a 10” x 10” (254mm x 254mm) hole for SL-D-

series pipe. The center of the framing hole is one (1) inch

(25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.
