ADJUSTABLE ATTIC
INSULATION SHIELD (AAIS)
This instruction addendum is intended to cover the installation of the new style
Adjustable Attic Insulation Shield (AAIS) until such time as the main instructions
are reprinted with these revisions incorporated. The AAIS replaces the old
styles (AIS - AISD) found in the main installation instructions. This Addendum
is intended to cover the installation of this new AAIS.
The function of the AAIS (or a complete enclosure) is to keep insulation from
coming into contact with the chimney outer wall. Certain insulations made of
cellulose fiber (old newspapers, processed wood) may ignite and smolder due
to heat trapped by contact with the chimney. When this smoldering fire reaches
ordinary wood framing, a smoldering fire may create noxious gases and cause
great property damage.
The Adjustable Attic Insulation Shield (AAIS) must be installed where a chimney
passes from a lower living space into an open attic space. The AAIS is to prevent
any debris or blown-in insulation from coming in direct contact with the outer
pipe. The AAIS has a two part shield (top shield adjust over the lower shield)
which allows for a depth of insulation from 12" to 22" plus the depth of the ceiling
joist. The height of the AAIS is to meet the insulation level requirement of the
National Building Code. It also incorporates a lower joist shield to protect the
joist area. See Figure 1.
