SINGLE WALL PIPE-MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR USA/CANADA
Some example of clearance reduction;
• Using heat shields on back and sidewalls allowing at least 1" of space away from the walls for
ventilation. The inch spacing is necessary to ensure air circulation between the protection and the
wall so that the wall is not subject to high temperatures. The spacer used must be non-combustible.
Another method to achieve the same type of protection is using brick or masonry with 1" air space
between the brick or masonry and the wall. When reducing distances, please check local codes and
consult with professional installer.
• Using special interior double wall stove pipe can reduce distance.
• Protecting wall or ceiling adjacent to the pipe.
• Installing an approve 'pipe heat shield' onto the stove pipe.
• WARNING: Do not place stove to close to the shield. There should be enough space between
for proper air ventilation.
