Combustible Wall Penetration
Frame a hole in a combustible wall for an interior wall
shield fi restop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated.
Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction. The wall shield fi restop maintains minimum
clearances and prevents cold air infi ltration.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombus-
tible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter one
inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.

Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).
The heat shield is designed to be used on a wall 4 in. to 7-1/4 in. (102
mm to 184 mm) thick. If wall thickness is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the
existing heat shields must be fi eld trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than
7-1/4 in. (184 mm) a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
