What is the primary function of a fire stop support plate in a dedicated vent system?

Prevent gas leaks
Prevent heat loss
Support the vent pipe where it passes through a ceiling
Support the furnace base

The correct answer is: Prevent gas leaks

A fire stop support plate is designed to prevent gas leaks in a dedicated vent system. This is its primary function and is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the system. Option B, preventing heat loss, is not the primary function of a fire stop support plate, although it may contribute to this as a secondary benefit. Option C, supporting the vent pipe where it passes through a ceiling, is incorrect as this is the primary function of a ceiling support. Option D, supporting the furnace base, is also incorrect as this is the primary function of a furnace base support.
