DuraVent DirectVent Pro 8×11 Support Plate: carries the vent’s weight instead of the fireplace
The DuraVent DirectVent Pro 8×11 Support Plate is the main support for a vertical fireplace vent. It rests on the first floor’s ceiling or floor framing, called joists, and goes in from above at a flat ceiling. The plate carries up to 30 feet of vent, keeping that weight off the fireplace below. DirectVent Pro 8×11 is DuraVent’s large size pipe inside a pipe vent for big direct vent gas fireplaces, with an 8 inch exhaust pipe inside an 11 inch air pipe.
The run also needs a firestop plate below each ceiling and an insulation shield where it crosses an attic. Wall straps steady the pipe sideways every 4 feet. Pipe ends lock together with a twist, without a gasket or sealant unless the fireplace maker calls for them. Allow for 1 5/8 inches of overlap at each joint when adding up pipe lengths. Need the plate for the ceiling opening? See the DuraVent DirectVent Pro 8×11 Vertical Ceiling Firestop. The DuraVent DirectVent Pro 8×11 Support Plate ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
