D. Install Ceiling Firestops

CAUTION! Risk of Fire! Ceiling restops must be used

whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/oor.

• Chase construction requires ceiling restops at each

oor or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear space.

• The ceiling restop slows spread of re and reduces cold

air inltration.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT seal area between

restop opening and chimney pipe except where they

enter the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the

home (use 600° F sealant).
