Firestop used as storm collar.

Does anyone have the listings for either storm collars or fire stops?

I inspected a new home about two months ago that had two water heaters. One had the normal storm collar and some had used a flat fire stop collar as a storm collar on the other one.

Now the builder says he's not replacing it. I told the Client that even if we disregarded everything else wrong, it's just plain damn ugly looking and needs replaced, however I would like a listing or code to light a fire under the builder.

I bet it is on the pipe manufactures website, any brand name on the pipe??

Thanks Scott,

I just grabbed some illustrations off of Dura Vents PDF. That'll have to do.

Thanks,
