CAULKING<br />

FIRESTOP<br />

ASSEMBLY<br />

<strong>CDV34</strong>/B<strong>CDV34</strong> HORIZONTAL<br />

INSTALLATION<br />

This application occurs when venting through an exterior<br />

wall. Having determined the correct height for the air terminal<br />

location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8 inches<br />

wide by 11 3/8 inches high to accomodate the firestop<br />

assembly. Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding<br />

to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit to the inside<br />

surface of the horizontal framing.<br />

As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe/liner can be<br />

enclosed in the wall using <strong>Continental</strong> ® vent sleeve VS47KT.<br />

NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED<br />

WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.<br />

1. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the corner<br />

edge of the inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the<br />

firestop assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws<br />

(W415-0026) supplied in your manual baggie.<br />

2. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position,<br />

apply high temperature sealant (not supplied) between the<br />

pipe/liner and the firestop.<br />

NOTE: DO NOT FILL THE CAVITY BETWEEN THE PIPE/<br />

LINER AND THE FRAMING WITH ANY TYPE OF<br />

MATERIAL.<br />

VERTICAL INSTALLATION<br />

This application occurs<br />

when venting through a<br />

roof. Installation kits for<br />

various roof pitches are<br />

available from your<br />

<strong>Continental</strong> dealer. See<br />

Accessories to order<br />

the specific kit required.<br />

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9½<br />

inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the<br />

minimum clearance between the fireplace pipe / liner and<br />

any combustible material. Try to center the exhaust pipe<br />

location midway between two joists to prevent having to<br />

cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the<br />

openings.<br />

Do not fill this space with any type of material.<br />

A vent pipe shield will<br />

prevent any materials<br />

such as insulation,<br />

from filling up the 1" air<br />

space around the pipe.<br />

Nail headers between<br />

the joist for extra support.<br />

2. Apply a bead of<br />

caulking (not supplied)<br />

FIGURE 24<br />

to the framework or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate<br />

or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure<br />

over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed<br />

on the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling<br />

that the venting system passes through. Apply a bead of<br />

caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over the<br />

vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the<br />

room or around the fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and<br />

shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.<br />

Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position,<br />

apply sealant between the pipe / liner and the firestop<br />

spacer.<br />

3. In the attic, after the pipe / liner has been installed,<br />

slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of<br />

the shield and tighten. This will prevent any materials, such<br />

as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the<br />

pipe.<br />
