mm)
thick
.
• If wall thickness is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the existing heat shields must be field
trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184 mm) a DVP-HSM-B will be
required.

SLP heat shield
- designed to be used on a wall 4-3/8 in. to 7-5/8 in. (111 mm to
194 mm thick).
• If wall thickness is less than 4-3/8 (111 mm) the existing heat shields must be field
