DuraVent DuraPlus Firestop Radiation Shield: closes the opening between floors without a support box
The DuraVent DuraPlus Firestop Radiation Shield is a flat plate with a collar for a chimney opening between floors. It closes the opening where there’s no support box, helping stop fire spreading between floors and keeping framing 2 inches away. It nails to framing above or below the opening, depending on whether the chimney enters an attic or another floor. It isn’t needed at the first ceiling with a support box or at the roof. 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.
Choose the 6 or 8 inch diameter to match your chimney. With the right shields and straps, the chimney can stay exposed in an attic or along an outside wall, or sit inside an enclosure called a chase. Framing must never touch it. When totaling chimney lengths, subtract 1 1/2 inch per section for the overlap at each joint. Need a guard for the attic above?

The DuraVent DuraPlus Firestop Radiation Shield ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
