Clearances With Double Wall Chimney Connectors And Rear Stove Heat Shields

When a rear heat shield is used on the stove and a double wall chimney connector is used, the rear clear- ance is 15¹⁄₂" (395 mm) and the chimney connector clearance is 12" (300 mm).

Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or heavier sheetmetal, 1/2” noncombustible insu- lation board, or common brick laid on ﬂat (3¹⁄₂" side down). Shields must be spaced out from the com- bustible wall or ceiling 1" on noncombustible spac- ers. The spacers should not be directly behind the stove or chimney connec- tor.

Air must be able to ﬂow between the wall and the shield. At least one-half (50%) of the bottom 1" of the shield should be open and the shield must stop 1" from the ceiling. Protect the top opening with metal screening to prevent objects from fall- ing behind the shield.
