Figure 5.2 Wall Penetration

B. Wall Penetration Framing/Firestops

Combustible Wall Penetration

Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must

frame a hole for the wall shield restop(s). The wall shield

restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold

air inltration.

• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the

same size framing materials as those used in the wall

construction.

• SLP pipe - A wall shield restop must be placed on each

side of an interior wall. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)

overlap of attached heat shields must be maintained.

• DVP pipe - A wall shield restop is required on one side

only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a

wall shield restop on both sides, then both wall shield

restops must have a heat shield (refer to Section

12.A.) attached to them.

• See Section 7.F. for information for regarding the instal-

lation of a horizontal termination cap.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by non-com-

bustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter

one inch greater than the pipe is acceptable.

Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall

shield restop is only required on one side and no heat

shield is necessary.
