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.
• DVP 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 main-
tained.
• See Section 10.J for information for regarding the in-
stallation of a horizontal termination cap.
Non-CombustibleWallPenetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncom-
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.

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.
