DuraVent DuraPlus Close Clearance Shield: a sleeve for tight roof openings
The DuraVent DuraPlus Close Clearance Shield is a metal sleeve for a roof opening where rafters sit too close to the chimney. It replaces the usual air gap so the framing can stay in place. The chimney must sit centered inside it. DuraPlus is DuraVent’s triple wall chimney, the insulated pipe that takes over from the stovepipe at the ceiling or wall and runs up past the roof. Normally, it needs 2 inches of air separating it from anything that can burn, including wood framing and insulation. This shield is most often needed around larger chimney sizes.
One shield fits 6 through 8 inch DuraPlus chimney. Choose a length of 36, 48, or 60 inches to suit the depth of your roof framing. The panels are cut to match your roof’s slope during installation. A vented flashing, the roof covering around the chimney opening, is required. DuraPlus sections lock together with a twist, without screws or sealant. Any screw used must not pierce the inner liner. Passing through a ceiling without a support? See the DuraVent DuraPlus Firestop Radiation Shield ceiling plate. The DuraVent DuraPlus Close Clearance Shield ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
