Installation Notes

• Where required: a ceiling firestop is required wherever the chimney passes through a ceiling or floor. In a chase, use one at each floor level or every 10 ft of clear space.
• Framed opening: 19 x 19 inch, framed with the same size lumber as the joists.
• Sealing: do not seal between the firestop and the chimney except where the chimney enters the attic or leaves the warm air envelope of the home, and then only with 600°F sealant.
• Insulated ceilings: use an attic insulation shield where the ceiling above is insulated.
