Installation of a ceiling restop is required
• Refer to Figures 8.6 - 8.8.
• Roll the shield (around the chimney if already installed)
until you have a 3 in. (76 mm) overlap and the three
holes on each side match up (large holes on top).
• Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a
tube.
• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90°
to maintain chimney air space (refer to Figure 8.6).
• Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling restop below.
• Bend the three short tabs at the top of the shield inward
to 90° to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) air space from the
chimney.
• Bend the remaining top tabs to just meet the pipe.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST install an attic insu-
lation shield when there is any possibility of insulation or
other combustible material coming into contact with the
chimney.
• DO NOT pack insulation between the chimney and the
attic insulation shield.
• Failure to keep insulation and other materials away from
chimney pipe could cause re.
• DO NOT offset chimney inside insulation shield.
If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow
these guidelines:
• Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to
hold back the insulation can be used.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other
materials that can deect under humidity or other envi-
ronmental conditions is not recommended.
• The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend
above the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation
from spilling into the cavity.
• Maintain specied air spaces around chimney.
• Check instructions and local codes for further details.
