Installing the Interior Radiation Shield

What happens here

Inside the building, the installers fit a cone-shaped radiation shield (made of galvanized metal) into the ceiling opening. This shield is crucial for preventing insulation from coming into contact with the hot chimney pipe and for maintaining the required safe clearances. The host expresses satisfaction with the neat appearance, stating that aesthetics are important in addition to functionality.

Goal: Maintain safe clearances and prevent heat transfer to combustibles in the ceiling.
