INSTALLING FIRE-STOP SUPPORT / SPACER PLATE
A Fire-stop Support or Spacer must be provided when a vent passes through a combustible floor or ceiling. The
opening must be framed to receive the integrated brackets on the support / spacer.
¾ The Fire-stop Support / Spacer plate is shipped as a flat square plate with all brackets flat.
i. Spacer Brackets (4) Refer to Heating System Operating Specifications to determine the system stack temperature
and select the appropriate brackets marked with temperature (480˚F or 300˚F) and bend upwards.
ii. A pair of Support Brackets is supplied at angles 45˚ and 135˚ on the plate. The Support Clamp halves are to be
loosely bolted to either side of these support brackets. Therefore select the appropriate brackets and bend in
direction that best suits accessibility.
¾ Measure the dimensions of the selected spacer brackets to determine the hole size that must be cut into the floor.
¾ Transfer this dimension to the predetermined breaching floor locations and cut hole.
¾ Cut a square hole and clear any flooring material so that a proper frame can be installed.
i. When cutting the opening, allowance must be made for the thickness of the frame and frame the opening of the
floor using lumber, which is dimensionally consistent with the structural members.
In the event that floor joists must be cut follow the building codes having jurisdiction for reframing the opening.
¾ Insert the support from above the framed opening and secure using the appropriate drill and screws to affix the Fire-stop
plate onto the framed opening.
¾ A support clamp (2 halves) with 2 bolts and 2 locknuts is supplied with a Fire-stop Support. The halves are to be loosely
bolted together ready to receive the vertical pipe.
¾ Insert the pipe through the clamp and complete pipe connections.
¾ Check the height and or level of the vent for correctness and tighten the fire-stop support clamp as it rests on the plate.
