B. Constructing the Appliance Chase

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required
to be, installed inside a chase.

Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building.
These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements
of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be
checked.

Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems.
The chase should not break the outside building envelope
in any manner.

Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.

T o further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fi restops
should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with

high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the
appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting
cold up into the room.

Combustible Wall Penetration

Frame a hole in a combustible wall for an interior wall
shield fi restop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated.
Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction. The wall shield fi restop maintains minimum
clearances and prevents cold air infi ltration.

Non-Combustible Wall Penetration

If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombus­tible 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 fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.

If your local inspector requires the wall shield fi restop on
both sides, then both wall shield fi restops must have a heat
shield attached to them.
