19W415-0434 / G / 08.08.114.1.1 HORIZONTAL SHIELDINGThis application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.Having determined the correct height for the air terminallocation, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall asillustrated to accommodate the firestop assembly.Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding toensure the brackets on the rear surface fit to theinside surface of the horizontal framing.The length of the vent shield may be cut shorterfor combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2” thickbut the vent shield must extend the full depth of thecombustible wall.A. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the corner edge ofthe inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the firestop assemblyto the hole and secure using the 4 screws (supplied in your manualbaggie).B. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply high temperature sealant W573-0007 (notsupplied) between the pipe and the firestop.DETERMINETHECORRECTHEIGHTCAULKINGFIRESTOPSPACERFINISHINGMATERIAL20.6! WARNINGTERMINALS MUST NOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL OR SIDING MORE THAN THE DEPTH OF THERETURN FLANGE OF THE MOUNTING PLATE.4.1.2 VERTICAL SHIELDINGThis application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits forvarious roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. Seeaccessories to order specific kits required.A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening asillustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ clearancebetween the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center the ventpipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Usea plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe shield willprevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1” air spacearound the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.B. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the WolfSteel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling),and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on thebottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passesthrough. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer overthe vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around thefireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance tocombustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealantbetween the pipe and the firestop assembly.C. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield andtighten. This will prevent any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1” air spacearound the pipe. 21.1CAULKINGVENT PIPESHIELDFIRESTOPUNDERSIDE OFJOISTVENTPIPECOLLARVENTPIPESHIELD9 1/2" 9 1/2"NOTE: The framing dimension may be reduced to a 9 1/2” square opening if the vent length, from theappliance to the framed hole, is 24” or greater.
