Wall Shields

Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, or another noncombustible material such as 1/2" (13 mm) insulation board (Fig.

14)or common brick "laid on flat," with the 3¹⁄₂" (90 mm) side down.

Shields must be spaced out from the combustible surface 1" (25 mm) on noncombustible spacers. The spacers should not be directly behind the stove or chimney connector.

Air must be able to flow between the wall and the shield. At least 50% of the bottom 1" (25 mm) of the shield should be open and the shield must be open at the top.
