A firestop plate is used to allow the chimney to pass between floors, for example, when you need the chimney to go through the ceiling on the ground floor through to the first floor. The steel plate is designed to provide the appropriate distance between the flue and the adjacent flammable materials, according to both fire and building regulations. A plate must be used top and bottom of the floor penetration. A non-ventilated firestop plate can only be used on installations burning gas or oil (T200). For T600 solid fuel installations ventilated plates must be used. All KW fire stops are set at a 50mm to combustible distance.
