Fire Risk.

Explosion Risk.

•  Any occupied areas above the first floor, including 

closets and storage spaces, which the vertical flue 
passed through must be enclosed. The enclosure 
may be framed and sheetrocked with standard 
construction materials; however, refer to these 
installation instructions for the minimum allowable 
clearance between the outside of the flue pipe and 
the combustible surfaces of the enclosure. Do not 
fill any of the required air space with insulation.

Step 9.
Twist-lock the flue cap and seal.

Note:  For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling firestop 
is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floors 
(Figure 5.25). The opening should be framed to 25.4cm x 
25.4cm inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in 
Figure 5.22.

If the fireplace installation requires a vertical flue off the 
top of the unit with no horizontal flue or elbows, the vertical 
flue restrictor must be added.  Reinstall heat shield when 
completed.  See Figure 4.25.
