    NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on carpeting, vinyl, or any combustible material other than wood.
    WARNING!** Risk of Fire! Maintain specified air space clearances to appliance and vent pipe:

    • Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent accidental contact.
    • The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown insulation or other combustibles from entering and making contact with fireplace or chimney.
    • Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and a fire.

A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling firestops and wall shield firestops and construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes  for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,you MUST check local building codes to determine the requirements to these steps.
NOTICE: Where required by code, install only sprinklerheads with a sprinkler activation temperature classifiedas Extra High.

  • Sprinklers inside of chase: Keep sprinkler head away from vent and chimney.
  • Heat Management applications: Maintain 36 inches of clearance to openings from which heat is discharged such as convection slots, heat zone registers, etc. Refer to Section 6.B for Heat Management options allowed for this appliance.

Chases should be constructed and insulated in the same manner as the thermal envelope of the home based on the code requirements for that climate zone to prevent air leakage and draft problems. The chase is an extension of the building thermal envelope.
To further prevent drafts and air leakage, the wall shield and ceiling firestops should be sealed with caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be sealed with caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.
Minimum height requirements for an exterior chase on a topvented appliance are shown in Figure 3.6. Reference Figure 4.4 for additional clearances.

Vent Clearances and Framing

A. Pipe Clearances to Combustibles
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain air space clearance to vent. DO NOT pack insulation or other combustibles:

  • Between ceiling firestops
  • Between wall shield firestops
  • Around vent system

Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent pipe could cause overheating and fire.

Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).

  • DVP heat shield – 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. the existing heat shields must be field trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.
  • SLP heat shield – designed to be used on a wall 4-3/8 in. to 7-5/8 in. (111 mm to 194 mm thick).
  • If wall thickness is less than 4-3/8 the existing heat shields must be field trimmed.
    If wall thickness is greater than 7-5/8 in. a DVP-HSM-B will be required.

heatilator NDV3630I-B Novus Direct Vent Fireplace Series - Two
Elbows11

  • When using SLP pipe, minimum clearances from the vent pipe to combustible materials at inside wall firestops are:
    Top: 2-1/2 in. (64 mm)
    Bottom: 1/2 in. (13 mm)
    Sides: 1 in. (25 mm)
    Figure 5.1 Horizontal Venting Clearances To Combustible Materials
    B. Wall Penetration Framing/Firestops
    Combustible Wall Penetration
    Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must frame a hole for the wall shield firestop(s). The wall shield firestop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold air infiltration.

    • 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 firestop 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 firestop is required on one side only on interior walls. If your local inspector requires a wall shield firestop on both sides, then both wall shield firestops must have a heat shield (refer to Section 12.A.) attached to them.
    • See Section 7.F. for information for regarding the installation of a horizontal termination cap.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by non-combustible 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 firestop is only required on one side and no heat shield is necessary.
If your local inspector requires the wall shield firestop on both sides, then both wall shield firestops must have a heat shield attached to them.

C. Ceiling Firestop/Floor Penetration Framing
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT pack insulation around the vent. Maintain clearances tovent to prevent overheating.

A ceiling firestop MUST be used between floors and attics.

  • DVP pipe only – Frame an opening 10 in. by 10 in. (254 mm by 254 mm) whenever the vent penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure 5.3).
  • SLP pipe only – Frame opening 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm) whenever the vent penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure 5.3).
  • Frame the area with the same sized lumber as used in ceiling/floor joist.
  • The ceiling firestop may be installed above or below the ceiling joists when installed with an attic insulation shield. It must be under joists between floors that are not insulated. Refer to Figure 5.4.
  • Secure in place with nails or screws.

D. Install Attic Insulation Shield

WARNING! Fire Risk. The use of an attic shield is required to prevent loose materials or insulation from contacting the vent causing overheating and a fire.
The International Fuel Gas Code requires an attic shield constructed of 26 gauge minimum steel that extends at least 2 in. (51 mm) above insulation.

  • Attic insulation shields must meet specified clearances to combustible materials and be secured in place.
  • An attic insulation shield kit is available from Hearth & Home Technologies. Contact your dealer to order. Install attic insulation shield according to instructions included with kit.
